Fugitive's Lament
I hear the sad howling of coyotes prowlingIt sounds so mournful to meIt brings back memories of cherished loved onesOf ones I'm longing to see I'm riding away out on the lone prairie The rangers are searching for me I'm riding away from my home in Texas A fugitive ever to beI had a good mother I had a good fatherThey handed a warning to meThe men that I ran with committed a murderAnd laid the blame on meLittle Maggie my sweetheart I know she's lonelyAnd longs for me to returnMy happiness ended the night we partedAnd now for her I yearnHow lonely how dreary with nothing to cheer meMy thoughts go stealing back homeMy life of sadness will never know gladnessI'm branded forever to roam
