Mister did you come in search of water I'll bet you're thirsty, wrong or right How'd you like to be my partner Mister will you ride with me tonight There's a house upon the hillside The people there ain't no damn good They've got gold and they've got silver I'd like to have it if I could Feel that wind Feel it blow There's worse than stealin' When a man is tired and cold You know my life has been a nightmare I won't bore you with the news But I can sum you up by lookin' I ain't no hungrier than you Hey friend, sorry that you're dyin' I didn't know he had a gun Such a shame to leave you lyin' But you know I've got to run You know the law has got a long arm I've been around I know it well But if they're ever gonna catch me They'll have to chase me into hell
