Oh mamma I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh mamma I can hear you a' crying
you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the
gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the news is out
They've finaly found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man
Oh mamma I've been years on the lam
And had a high price on my head
Lawman says get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear mamma I can hear you are a' crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
and I don't have very long
The jig is up the news is out
They've finaly found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will be have revenge today
On the wanted man
