|
|
- Artist: Frankie Laine as sung on "Hell Bent For Leather"-Columbia CS 8415

|
SPOKEN: Bullet in my shoulder. Blood runnin' down my vest. Twenty in the
|
posse and they're never. Gonna let me rest
|
|
Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun
|
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
|
And I'm always, always, always on the run
|
|
I killed poor Jed Kline (?) in bad Laredo fight
|
Killed him with my bare hands for the girl I loved that night
|
Jed's brother's out to get me
|
He's comin' with a gang
|
But I'd rather shoot it out, by God
|
Than let 'em watch me hang
|
|
Bullet in my shoulder!!
|
BLOOD runnin' down my vest
|
Twenty in the posse!!
|
And they're never gonna let me rest
|
Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun
|
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
|
And I'm always (always), always (always), always on the run
|
|
She had spangles on her red dress
|
She had laughter in her voice
|
When he tried to put his hands on her
|
My heart left me no choice
|
But was she really worth it?
|
Well, I guess I'll never know
|
She'll be drinking someone else's rye
|
When I'm six feet below
|
|
Bullet in my shoulder!!
|
BLOOD runnin' down my vest
|
Twenty in the posse!!
|
And they're never gonna let me rest
|
Till I became a wanted man I never even owned a gun
|
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat
|
And I'm always (always), always (always), always on the run
|
|
A wanted man
|
A wanted man
|
On the run
|
