When I woke up this morning
I found myself alone
I turned to touch her hair
and she way gone, she was gone
and there beside my pillow
were her tears from the night before
she said give up your guns and face the law

I robbed a bank in Tampa
and I thought I had it made
but the hounds picked up my trail within the glades
so I ran and I stumbled on this cabin
and she came to me to me once more
she said give up your gun and face the law

I don't wanna to leave her I don't wanna to die
deep within a cold, cold grave with no one around to cry.
but I got my pistols and now it's time to choose
shooting here or hanging there
and either way I lose

and now I'm in this cabin where my own true love should be
instead there lies a note she wrote to me
and it said, though you can't live by the bullet but you sure as death can die
my love give up your guns or say goodbye, goodbye
and the sheriff now is calling with a shotgun at my door
son give up your guns and face the law
