Verse:
(spoken)
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 crying
you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
and I don't have very long
Chorus:
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
Riff:
Verse:
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 cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
Chorus:
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
