lyrics

Well if you go down the road
Don't matter whether it's night or day
You'll see a bunch of people
Waiting to take me away
But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Ain't goin' to hear my case
I ain't goin to the courthouse, babe
Shuffle from this earthly place
Well I told 'em what's mine is mine
And what's yours is yours
But I caught you a-peepin' and a-feelin'
Around with your dirty claws
But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Ain't goin to hear my case
I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Shuffle from this earthly place
Well I hope you can come with me babe
To that place up there
Come with me babe
Just so long as I can afford my fare
But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Ain't goin' to hear my case
I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Shuffle from this earthly place
From the east to the west
There's no dividing line
And this old king knows best
That the monarchy has had its time
But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Ain't goin' to hear my case
I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe
Shuffle from this earthly place
Oh one more time
No, I ain't goin'
Ain't goin to the courthouse, ain't goin' to the courthouse

about

Mad King Ludwig & the Mojo Co. Southampton, UK

An inventive 6-piece from Southampton. Sounds like James Brown & the Famous Flames in a hurricaine; feels like a velvet sofa hurtlin' through a jazz club.
