Now the High Sheriff of Hazard is a hard working man.

Marriage Lyrics
Beginning with its conclusion Misdirected by what's right Actual illusion Weakened by its might The deserving marital value Priced for quick exchange Is worth in the open market Only half its weight in change Enthusiast
ary a nickel or penny was there.Beginning with its conclusion Misdirected by what's right Actual illusion Weakened by its might The deserving marital value Priced for quick exchange Is worth in the open market Only half its weight in change Enthusiast
So I got thirty days and some bumps in my hair.
God bless the High Sheriff of Hazard.
He caught me one evening and here's what he said:
"You look like a Russian, you look like a Red,
And if you are fond of your skin and your head,
Beware the High Sheriff of Hazard".
I thanked him politely, I thanked him for all,
And five minutes later I made a phone call,
To call a strike meeting at our union hall
And damn the High Sheriff of Hazard
Collideascope Lyrics
Collideascope Careful, don't look down the wrong end You will see ships that fall out of the sky Who put that nail in your eye You make me want to cry with your... Collideascope Everything looks smashed and broken

Now, men there are plenty who sweat out their lives,
To scratch out a living for children and wives,
They sweat for their pennies while the mine owner thrives
With the blessing of the High Sheriff of Hazard.
And when union men strike and the troubles come on,
The High Sheriff's word is the mine owner's bond,
He's a mine owner, too; you know which side he's on,
He's the wealthy High Sheriff of Hazard.
It seems to be so since this world first began,
That so
Metanoia Lyrics
Metanoia I saw the light I changed my world I changed my heart We sing a song of repentance A song of joy We sing a song of repentanceme men are willing to scheme and to plan,
To gouge out a fortune from the poor working man,
For example, the High Sheriff of Hazard.
But the answer is simple, the answer is clear,
Let's all get together with nothing to fear,
And throw the old bastard right out on his ear,
Farewell to the High Sheriff of Hazard.
