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
