He Knows The Rules

Champion Jack Dupree


I met a girl last night that I wanted to love
Now let me tell you man what a fool I was
I took her home like she was twenty one
And when I met her mother she said: I'm sorry son

I said ho ho ho ho please let's me explain
She said when you see the judge, you can tell him everything
The girl look at her mother she said mother let him go
It's all my fault, mama, cause he didn't know

The mother looked around she said now sury fool
This man is still concerned cause he knows the rules
Ho ho ho ho please let's me explain
She said when you see the judge, you can tell him everything

Then call her brother said jo you come here quick
I have a rascal outside and he think he slip
I made up my mind and started to run
When I see upstairs jo with a tommy gun

I said ho ho ho ho please let's me explain
She said when you see the judge, you can tell him everything
I say please please mister I can't made no wrong
He say I make sure you leave my duty long

He say now you dont have to worry about judge you
Cause people be my top I play I have you few
I said ho ho ho ho please let's me explain
He say I'm the judge and I talk to the jury man
Yeah
