Oh mama I´m in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end on my running
And I´m so far from my home
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don´t have very long

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
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
Now it´s for sure he´ll see me dead

Dear mama I can hear you a crying
You´re so scared and all alone
Handman is coming down from the gallows
And I don´t have very long

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
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´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
Of the wanted man

Wanted man
I don´t wanna go
Oh no
I don´t wanna die
