Now, got offices in town, resident out on Century Road
He got a nice little lake right inside the grove
Boys you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend
He say if I just stay out the grave
He see that I won't go to the pen
Now, Mist' Clark is a lawyer, his younger brother is, too
When the battle get hot, he tell him just what to do
Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, you know he is my friend
He say if I just stay out the grave
H see that I won't go to the pen
Now, he lawyer for the rich, he lawyer for the poor
He don't try to rob nobody, just bring along a little dough
Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend
He say if I just stay out the grave
H see that I won't go to the pen
Now, once I got in trouble, you know I was gonna take a ride
He didn't let it reach the courthouse, he kept it on the outside
Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend
He say if I just stay out the graveyard
Poor John I see you won't go to the pen
Now, Mist' Clark is a good lawyer, he good as I ever seen
He's the first man that prove that water run upstream
Boys, you know I like Mist' Clark, yes, he really is my friend
He say if I just stay out the grave
Poor John, I see you won't go to the pen
