THE LAW GONNA STEP ON YOU
As recorded by Bo Carter, [date unknown to me].

I done told you, told you, I told you, too,
To quit havin' liquor and gamblin' too.

CHORUS: Looka here, baby; you going too fas'.
The law's gonna step on ya—yas, yas, yas.

Now you can twist; you can twist; you can step on his tail.
You gonna need somebody to go your bail.

Now you may think that they're doin' you wrong,
But they'll send you to the county farm.

Now if you want to leave from home,
Look around with a bottle of corn.(?)

I done told you and told you like a frien',
You better draw your business in.
