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 are 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

This'll 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

Lawman said Get him dead or alive

And 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 comin' 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 will 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 for a bounty

Never more to go astray

This will be the end today

Of the wanted man

The wanted man

And I don't wanna go

Oh No

Don't let them take me

No No
