Lord I gotta keep on moving.
Lord I gotta get on down.
Lord I gotta keep on moving.
Where I can't be found
Law is coming after me.

I've been accused of a killing
Lord knows I didn't do
For hanging me they are willing yeah
That's why I gotta get on through.
Law is coming after me.

Chorus

Lord I gotta..... etc

I've got two boys and a woman
They're just gonna suffer now.
Lord forgive me for not going back
But I'll be there anyhow,
I'll be there anyhow.

Chorus

Lord I gotta..... etc

Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
Somewhere not by or near anyone.
Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman.
And my two grown up son's,
My two grown up sons.

Chorus
