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 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 I've been years on the lam And had a high price on my head Lawman said get him dead or alive Now it's for sure he'll see me dead Dear mamma 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

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law 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 from a bounty Never more to go astray This'll be the end today Of the wanted man
