i pulled out my stage coach times
and i read the latest news
i tapped my feet in dumb surprise
and of course i saw they knew
the pinkertons pulled out my bags
and asked me for my name
i stuttered out my answer
and hung my head in shame
now they've found me
at last they've found me
it's hard to run
from a starving family
now they've found me
well i won't run
i'm tired of hearing
there goes a well-known gun
now i've seen this chain gang
lord i say let me see my priest
i couldn't have faced your desert sand
old burning brown backed beast
the poor house they hit me for my kin
and claimed my crumbling walls
now i know how reno felt
when he ran from the law
now they've found me
at last they've found me
it's hard to run
from a starving family
now they've found me
well i won't run
i'm tired of hearing
there goes a well-known gun
now they've found me
lord i say at last they've found me
it's hard to run
from a starving family
lord i say now they've found me
well i won't run
i'm tired of hearing
there goes a well-known gun
lord i say now they've found me
at last they've found me
it's hard to run
from a starving family
now they've found me
i won't run
i'm tired of hearing
there goes a well-known gun
