The Dancer and the Lawman

Well Suzie was a dancer

She was always on the run

Her old man was a gangster

They said he bombed the cop shop just for fun

The Lawman said he'd help her

But Suzie’s gangster man was done

Nine months later she was in rehab

And Suzie gave birth to The Lawman's son

And the Sudbury fuzz denied it

But the other girls all saw the lad

when that cop would visit Suzie

And they'd shut down the soo rehab

The crown attorney glared across the courtroom

Where the gangster sat shackled in the prisoner box

 I'm gonna see that you get life boy, so get used to them chains and locks."

The gangster laughed and winked at the man

You're a funny guy for a prick

 but you'll never get my life

I wasn't anywhere near the station that night

I was at your house 
Banging your wife."

A few weeks later 'round the courthouse

Mistrial was the talk

The crowns case was on the ropes

And the Gangster he might walk

The Lawman said he wasn't worried

But he really was the nervous one

He locked his windows tightly

and he slept beside his gun

It was a friday afternoon

when the gangster was set free

Whoever bombed the cop shop would remain a mystery

And down at the Coulson Tavern

The rounders bought the drinks

They talked of vengeance on the lawman
and what Suzie did fucking stinks

"Listen boys
I'm tired of jail
 I'm tired of cops 
Tired of this bullshit life

If I had made some different choices

Suzie mighta been my wife

I will always love that girl

She's the sweetest human being

And if any one of you fucks
lay a hand on her

I swear to Christ, man
you'll answer to me"

The Lawman took Suzie to Quebec

For a romantic get away

He noticed that she seemed jumpy

And on the last night of their stay

Suzie said she was steppin out

To have smoke real quick

But she hit the streets of La Belle Province

Looking to pull a trick

And after a few hours the lawman knew

he lost Suzie the street

And when that airplane left the tarmac
For the rest of that return flight

The lawman hung his weary head

 and he stared at Suzie's empty seat
