HELP ME FIND THIS DARN SONG??

[butch84]

Okay, i think this song is from the 70s, rock genre. The first line of the song is as follows:

"Oh mama im a afraid for my life from the long arm of the law"


It is repeated several times, then it goes to a faster paced part with electric guitar.


HELP ME 70s ROCK FANS!!!!!!!

[RossMAN]

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

Oh mama, 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

{Refrain}
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

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 crying
So scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

{Refrain}
...The judge will have revenge today on the wanted man

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

{Refrain}
...This will be the end today of the wanted man

The wanted man
And I don't wanna go, oh no
