Lyrics for Justice In Ontario by Steve Earle:

Know the tale of the Donnelly's Oh
Died at the hands of a mob
that night
Every child and man by the oil torch light
Jim Donnelly was no angel sure
But they burned his barn, broke down the door
Well the children cried while they killed
old Jim
Then they killed his wife, then they turned on them
No judge, no jury, no hangman,
no justice in Ontario
A hundred years or more have turned
And you always hear how much
we've learned
Well a man lay dead in a Port Hope bar
And the blood ran red on a hardwood
floor
And the big men ran through the nearest door
Only one man knew what had happened for
sure
Well one and all wore the outlaws' brand
And the big bikes roared through the Great
Northland
When you live on the edge of the law
You know, justice in Ontario
Blue
smoke still hung in the air
No one spoke when the cops got there
Well the local constable
made the call
Send us Corporal Terry Hall
They all sang a different tune
When
Corporal Hall walked in the room
With his picture book and a list of names
One by one the
witnesses came
And they told him what he wanted to know
Justice in Ontario
The
provincial cops searched far and wide
And the outlaws ran but they could not hide
And they
brought em in every single one
Save the man who actually fired the gun
It was down in
London, they were tried
And the guilty man stood free outside
When he took the stand to
pay his debt
The judge was blind and the jury deaf
In Kingston Town they're locked up
still
When the sun goes down and the air is chill
You could swear you heard Jim Donnelly's
ghost cry
