Oh mama I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I’m so far from my home
Oh mama 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 finally 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 mama I’ve been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Law man said get him dead or alive now it’s for sure he’ll see me dead
Dear mama I can hear you 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 finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge’ll have revenge today on the wanted man
[Editor’s Note: I made the connection before ever watching the Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood trailer, but admit it, the video would have been cooler with a little Styx action going on in the background.]
