Down in the courts, they got lots of pretty women.

-Steal your heart then they’ll put you in jail.

Lonesome Cliff, he’s in love with a pain.

She takes him from the fire and drives him nearly insane.

On and on, he just keeps on trying

And he smiles when he feels like crying,

On and on,

On and on,

On and on,

Judge Dingle berry in a black a robe,

Invents a statute

Sends Cliff down the road

So, he takes a clue from law `83

Cliff takes everything away from Judge Dingle berry.

On and on, he just keeps on trying

And he smiles when he feels like crying,

On and on,

On and on,

On and on,

When, my first trial is the last trial,

It’ll make me feel so glad.

TV will show it,

Dontcha know it.

Hold on tight,

Don’t ever let them indict.

I got god on my side … at my right hand.

But Willie’s left me for some other man.

Ah, but I don’t care. I’m sure she’ll stay mad.

I’ll toss up my heart and see where it lands.

On and on, I just keep on trying

And I laugh when I feel like dying,

On and on,

On and on,

On and on,

(An adaptation of Stephen Bishop’s beautiful song)
