I remember my grandfather's counsel
3
As he layed the leather to my hide
4
He said there's just one rule to life that always will apply
5
You can't do wrong and get by.

7
Now, lessons tend to fade as we grow older
8
And I found myself in jail at twenty-five
9
Had to sit there by my lawyer, the old judge looked me in the eye
10
Said, you can't do wrong and get by.
11
(Both)
12
You can't do wrong and get by for very long
13
Do wrong and all your troubles multiply

You may not face them here but you'll face the man on high

You can't do wrong and get by.

Now once I had a wife and lovin' children
21
But I gave into the pleasures of the night

Used my grand dads very words to say her last goodbye

You can't do wrong and get by.

Do wrong and all your troubles multiply
