Wanted Man- Artist: Frankie Laine as sung on "Hell Bent For Leather"-Columbia CS 8415- apparently never charted on Billboard- Words and Music by Bob Hilliard and Lee J. PockrissSPOKEN: Bullet in my shoulder. Blood runnin' down my vest. Twenty in the posse and they're never. Gonna let me restTill I became a wanted man I never even owned a gunBut now they hunt me like a mountain catAnd I'm always, always, always on the runI killed poor Jed Kline (?) in bad Laredo fightKilled him with my bare hands for the girl I loved that nightJed's brother's out to get meHe's comin' with a gangBut I'd rather shoot it out, by GodThan let 'em watch me hangBullet in my shoulder!!BLOOD runnin' down my vestTwenty in the posse!!And they're never gonna let me restTill I became a wanted man I never even owned a gunBut now they hunt me like a mountain catAnd I'm always (always), always (always), always on the runShe had spangles on her red dressShe had laughter in her voiceWhen he tried to put his hands on herMy heart left me no choiceBut was she really worth it?Well, I guess I'll never knowShe'll be drinking someone else's ryeWhen I'm six feet belowBullet in my shoulder!!BLOOD runnin' down my vestTwenty in the posse!!And they're never gonna let me restTill I became a wanted man I never even owned a gunBut now they hunt me like a mountain catAnd I'm always (always), always (always), always on the runA wanted manA wanted manOn the runTranscribed by Robin Hood, who cannot be certain of the bad guy's last nameThese lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned aboveand do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheetmusic, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
