High Sheriff Of Hazard (LP Version) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Now the High Sheriff of Hazard is a hard working man [00:00:04]

To be a fine sheriff is his only plan [00:00:07]

With his hands in our pockets he takes what he can [00:00:10]

For he's the High Sheriff of Hazard [00:00:13]

He looked through my pockets [00:00:17]

And searched them with care [00:00:19]

But nary a nickel or penny was there [00:00:20]

So I got thirty days and some bumps in my hair [00:00:24]

God bless the High Sheriff of Hazard [00:00:27]

He caught me one evening and here's what he said:[00:00:34]

"You look like a Russian you look like a Red [00:00:37]

And if you are fond of your skin and your head [00:00:41]

Beware the High Sheriff of Hazard" [00:00:44]

I thanked him politely I thanked him for all [00:00:47]

And five minutes later I made a phone call [00:00:51]

To call a strike meeting at our union hall[00:00:54]

And damn the High Sheriff of Hazard [00:00:58]

Now men there are plenty who sweat out their lives [00:01:05]

To scratch out a living for children and wives [00:01:08]

They sweat for their pennies[00:01:11]

While the mine owner thrives[00:01:13]

With the blessing of the High Sheriff of Hazard [00:01:15]

And when union men strike and the troubles come on [00:01:18]

The High Sheriff's word is the mine owner's bond [00:01:21]

He's a mine owner too; you know which side he's on [00:01:25]

He's the wealthy High Sheriff of Hazard [00:01:28]

It seems to be so since this world first began [00:01:35]

That some men are willing to scheme and to plan [00:01:38]

To gouge out a fortune from the poor working man [00:01:42]

For example the High Sheriff of Hazard [00:01:45]

But the answer is simple the answer is clear [00:01:48]

Let's all get together with nothing to fear [00:01:52]

And throw the old bastard right out on his ear [00:01:56]

Farewell to the High Sheriff of Hazard[00:01:59]
