The One Armed Man

Lightning strikes in Southern Indiana A medicine man returns from a stormy day A frightening sight appears on his veranda The ghost of a one-armed man slips away He wanted to tell his love that he was sorry For a fight he knows they never should have had The State Police, they don't believe his story His wife is on the kitchen floor, she is dead The County Courthouse, forgone conclusion Found guilty, by a jury of his peers In the Big House there will be no absolution Just a final prayer on a rosary of tears Then fate derails his train this side of Hades A reprieve from the chair... electrified On the run for the murder of his lady On the hunt for that killer, who... vaporized Wanted By the long arm of the law Haunted By the evil that he saw A gauntlet It's getting out of hand Undaunted He'd like to take a stand His innocence they never will believe Until he finds that shadow With nothing up his sleeve The One-Armed Man The One-Armed Man The One-Armed Man Catch him if you can The One-Armed Man... run The doctor is called upon to care again Helps the sick to get well along the way There will be no rest for this Good Samaritan Only flight will keep the hounds of hell at bay With more escape's than the great Houdini He's quite the master of disguise Like Aladdin and his magical blue genie The one he seeks, disappears... right before his eyes Wanted By the long arm of the law Haunted By the evil that he saw A gauntlet That's getting out of hand Undaunted He'd like to take a stand His story they never will believe Until he finds that devil With nothing up his sleeve The One-armed Man THE One-armed man The One-armed Man Catch him if you can The One-armed Man... go
