Lyrics
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to the runnin'
And I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama, I can hear you are crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows
And I don't have very long (yeah)
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade, who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the endin' day
Of the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I been years on the lam
And had high price on my head
Lawman said, get 'em dead or alive
For sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama, I can hear you are crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade, who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long
The jigs is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade, who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the endin' day
Of the wanted man, woah
Yeah, heh-heh
