Oh Mamma, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law

Law men 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 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

Law man said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead

Dear Mama I can hear you cryin', 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'll have revenge today

On the wanted man



Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
