Oh Momma I'm in fear for my life
from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my runnin'
and I'm so far from my home
Oh Momma I can hear you uh crying
you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
and I don't have very long

Yeah

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
For the wanted man

Whoa Momma 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
Whoa Momma 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

[Guitar Solo]

Oh Momma, 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'll be the end today
For the wanted man

The wanted man
I don't wanna go
No no
Mommy don't let 'em take me
Yeah, whoa, whoop
Yeah yeah yeah I won't go
Yeah
