ballad of a well known gun

Lyrics

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
