My daddy was a bank robber, but he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way, but loved to steal your money
Some is rich and some is poor, and that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in laying backs and how bad your luck is
So he came to jazz it up, never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn our pay, and don't forget to grovel
But daddy was a bank robber, he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way, and he loved to steal your money
He's gone now
The old man spoke up in a boss said I'd never been in prison. A lifetime serving
one machine is ten times worse than prison. Imagine if all the boys in jail
could get out now together. What do you think they'd want to say to us while we
was being clever someday you'll meet the rocking chair cuz that's where we were
spending there's no point to want to comb your hair when it's gray and thinning
oh and he was a big robber they never hurt nobody he just loved to live that
way love to steal your money so he came to jazz it up he never learned to shovel
break your back to earn your pay and don't forget to grovel hey get away get
away get away get away get away get away get away
My daddy was a bank robber, he never hurt nobody. He just loved to live that way and he loved to steal your money.
I can find that hole in the wall, and I know that they never will That he was a bank robber,
they never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way
