Said He The Judge

by Snafu

on SNAFU (1973)

This man's been travelling a long dark road
He can't see no place to go
The judge called him, the travelling man
He's just looking for a home

The judge said "You're too old now, son
Luck has begun to fade"
What I would give for a place like home
Like the one my own mum made

Said he the judge "Love's strong with you
And you got no place to go"
I said "Sorry, judge, I'm a travelling man
I've gotta find myself a home"

The judge said "You're too old now, son
Luck has begun to fade"
What I would give for a place like home
Like the one my own mum made

I'm sorry for all the trouble, judge
That I caused you in the past
But you told me that story the last time, my son
And then the copper came to laugh

Said he the judge "Love's strong with you
And you got no place to go"
I said "Sorry, judge, I'm a travelling man
I've gotta find myself a home"

Love's part of you
You've been convicted, my son
