Oh mama I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the lawLaw man has put an end to my running and I’m so far from my homeOh mama I can hear you a-crying you’re so scared and all aloneHangman 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 meThe renegade who had it made retrieved for a bountyNever more to go astrayThis 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 headLaw man said get him dead or alive now it’s for sure he’ll see me deadDear mama I can hear you crying you’re so scared and all aloneHangman is coming down from the gallows and I don’t have very long
The jig is up, the news is out they finally found meThe renegade who had it made retrieved for a bountyNever more to go astrayThe judge’ll have revenge today on the wanted man
[Editor’s Note: I made the connection before ever watching theCall of Juarez: Bound in Bloodtrailer, but admit it, the video would have been cooler with a little Styx action going on in the background.]
