Oh mamma Im in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running and Im so far from my home
Oh mamma I can hear you a-crying youre so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I dont have very
long
The jig is up the news is out theyve 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 mamma Ive been years on the lam
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now its for sure hell see me dead
Dear mamma I can hear you crying
Youre so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I dont 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 judgell have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh Mama, Im in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is coming down from the gallows And I dont 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
Thisll be the end today
Of the wanted man
