Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
[Verse 2]
Oh, mama, I can hear you a-cryin'
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long (Yeah!)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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-cryin'
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'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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
The wanted man
[Outro]
And I don't wanna go
Oh, no
Mama, don't let 'em take me!
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't go
