| My father he rides with your sheriffs | |
| And I know he would never mean harm | |
| But to see both sides of a quarrel | |
| Is to judge without haste or alarm | |
| Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
| And you don't have anywhere to go | |
| You take away homes from the homeless | |
| And leave them to die in the cold | |
| The gypsy who begs for your presents | |
| He will laugh in your face when you're old | |
| Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
| And you don't have anywhere to go | |
| Well one man he drinks up his whiskey | |
| Another he drinks up his wine | |
| And they'll drink 'till their eyes are red with hate | |
| For those of a different kind | |
| Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
| And you don't have anywhere to go | |
| When the rivers run thicker than trouble | |
| I'll be there at your side in the flood | |
| T'was all I could do to keep myself | |
| From taking revenge on your blood | |
| Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
| And you don't have anywhere to go | |
| Oh, oh, helpless and slow | |
| And you don't have anywhere to go |
