Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see, This world is such a great and a funny place to be. Oh, the gamblin' man is rich, an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.
I better quit my talking 'cause I told you all I know But please remember, pardner, wherever you may go The people are building a peaceful world, and when the job is done, That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done.
Now as through this world I ramble, I see lots of funny men, Some rob you with a six gun, And some with a fountain pen.
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
I love a good man outside the law, just as much as I hate a bad man inside the law.
