- The Sheriff has to be above the law,
- A scheming manipulator.
- Makes his fortune from rich and the poor,
- Isn't that what it's there for?
- When prisoners pay me a handsome fee,
- I'll think about setting them free,
- Sometime,
perhaps, maybe.
-
- Sometimes bribes are needed for some
jurors,
- So they'll do me lots of
favours.
- The Sheriff's welfare must come first,
- Gold must flow in to my purse.
- When prisoners pay me a handsome fee,
- I'll think about setting them free,
- Sometime, perhaps,
maybe.
-
- The law brings much wealth and
power for me.
- So
people have to bend their knee,
- Rich or poor, whoever they may
be,
- I'm the gaoler with the
key.
- When prisoners pay me a handsome fee,
- I'll think about setting them free,
