Won’t do right and you can’t be told

No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told

Won’t do right and you can’t be told

No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told

Spent his whole life running

Trying to meet a mark

Seems like every moment

Put him back at the start

See how he livin'

See where he's bound

Same destination

Six feet in the ground

Eagle bird got his eye on you

Got his eye on you, got his eye on you

Eagle bird got his eye on you

Everything you do, got his eye on you

Ain’t tryin' to be nobody

But my fine sweet self

Honey, if I give you everything

Then I'll have nothing left

If I've gotta break the law

To be free from your chains

I'll plead self-defense

When that judge calls my name

Rooster crowed in the dead of night

Knew it wasn't right to crow before daylight

Rooster crowed in the dead of night

Knew it wasn't right to crow before daylight

Won’t do right and you can’t be told

No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told

Won’t do right and you can’t be told

No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told

Won’t do right and you can’t be told

No, you can’t be told, no, you can’t be told
