Lyrics
Refrain:
We’re the county sheriffs
And the law must be obeyed
When they speed in an automobile
You can hear us holler, “Whoa, Bill”
Any time we catch them
There’s a fine that must be paid
So we must arrest those gents
The Jail house needs a fence
It’ll cost us sixty cents
So the law must be obeyed
