I Fought The Law Words and Music by Sonny Curtis (c) 1961 A-breakin' rocks in the hot sun I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won, I miss my baby and the good fun, I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the law won. Chorus: I left my baby and I feel so bad, I guess my race is run. She's the best girl I've ever had, I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the law won. A-robbin' people with a zip gun, I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the law won, I needed money 'cause I had none, I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won.
