Oh Mamma, 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 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
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
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
OF the wanted man
