When Lester was a little bitty baby   Mama told him, "Son, never be kind to strangers   And always carry a gun"      And Lester vowed to make her proud   Until the day he died   He had her name tattooed on his arm   To show the world his pride      Lester the Arrester, riding in the sky   Lester the Arrester, will you never die   Late at night when the moon is bright   The same old ghost goes riding by      Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't soft   He loved upholding law so much he never took time off   Late one night he got a call to go to the edge of town   A prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud      Lester the Arrester, found the Devil in disguise   The Devil said to Lester, "You can take your prize   I've watched you for quite some time   And I'm sure you're my kind of man."      The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smoke   He laughed out loud and   Oh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke   (Ha ha ha ha)   Lester became immortal and more famous than most   He rides the sky forever as a legend, there he goes      Lester the Arrester, riding in the sky   Lester the Arrester, will you never die   Late at night when the moon is bright   The same old ghost goes riding by      Oh, Lester   (By-by-by-by-by)   The Arrester   He's the legendary law, he's the legendary law   Lester the Arrester goes riding by   The ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, never   Ever, ever gonna die, die, die, ooohh right
