I'm running, running, running Feet they hardly touch the ground Policedogs on my trail 'Cause I shot my woman down I caught my baby On a midnight creep Blew a bullet through her head Before she woke up from her sleep I'm a hunted man Can't find no hiding place Gotta keep on moving Like the wild geese flyin' to the west Gonna charge me for murder Murder in the first degree Take me down to the jail Spend my time in misery Judge and jury Gonna send me to the 'lectric chair Gonna meet my baby When I fly away from here Got a rabbit-bone And I got a mojo-bone All the good luck charms in the world Can't help me none Dark is the night Cold is the ground Cryin' lord have mercy On a poor boy d**h-cell bound
