Judge's Gavel Blues

Chorus

(Female): Oh, Mr. Judge, put that heavy gavel down

(Female): Don’t you send my baby to the far side of town

(Female): He’s got a leather jacket and a heart of pure gold

(Female): He’s just a little reckless, he ain't being bold

(Female): Oh, Mr. Judge, put that heavy gavel down

Verse 1

(Female): I saw him on the corner, just a-leaning on his bike

(Female): He’s exactly the kind of boy that my mama wouldn’t like

(Female): But he didn’t rob no station, he didn’t steal no car

(Female): He was only chasing shadows underneath a lonely star

Refrain

(Female): Set him free, set him free

(Female): Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Female): Bring my greaser baby back home to me

(Female): Whoa-oh-oh

Bridge

(Male): Your Honor, please, I’m just a victim of the street

(Male): My only crime is dancing to a different kind of beat

(Male): Look at my girl, she’s crying in the front row seat

(Male): Give me back my freedom, make my life complete!

Verse 2

(Male): I’m staring at the jury, they’re all looking at my hair

(Male): They think because I’m cool that I simply do not care

(Male): But I’m shaking in my boots, yeah, I’m shaking in my soul

(Male): Don’t lock me in a cage, I’m too young for rock and roll!

Outro

(Female): Don’t take him away!

(Male): I can’t spend another day!

(Both): Oh, Mr. Judge, hear the words we gotta say

(Both): Open up the handcuffs, let the music play

(Female): (Let my baby go)

(Male): (Let me hit the road)

(Both): Yeah, yeah, yeah!
