[Verse 4]
CHORUS
[G]I'll [C]tel[F]l[C]
[G]you[C] if you ask
me [G]about the pay- roll robbery.
[C]Two clerks were shot in the shoe factory
[G]on the streets of old Brain[C]tree
I'll tell you [G]the prosecutors' names: Katman, Admans, Williams,
[C]Kane.
Them and the judge were the best
of friends. [G]Did more tricks
than circus clown[C]s
The judge he told his friends around.
[G]He'd put them rebels down.
[C]Communist bastards was the name the
[G]judge he gave these two fine men.
