"Policeman Blues"
by: Evan Garmon

Old black shine, he's a cuttin' through the trees
lawman gotcha on your knees
Take me to your still, my old good friend
Or I'm haulin' your ass in
Hands behind your back, you caught a bad deal
They want your money and your pills
Take your money and stash, they'll let you go
But oh, the party they'll throw

Nothin' like them Policeman Blues
To stir up a bad day
They'll scare you with them handcuffs
Then turn right around and walk away
And you're stuck with the Policeman Blues baby
Policeman Blues

Bustin' down Billy's door, casin' for the jack
Just turn your back
Nothin' like a cop, to rob you blind
And leave you nothin' left to find

Except for them Policeman Blues
To stir up a bad day
Scare you with them handcuffs
Then turn right around and walk away
Leave you holdin' them Policeman Blues baby
The Policeman blues

Haul a junkie downtown, sweat him for names
They're tired of playin' them games
Pull out the fix, that man he'll talk
Then let him take a little walk

He's got him the Policeman Blues
Some think that they're God
Once they get a hold of that badge baby
It's like they hold the staff and the rod
and you're holdin' the Policeman Blues
Yeah baby, the Policeman Blues
Policeman Blues
Yeah Baby, Policeman Blues
