Lord, I've got to get on down
 Lord, I've got to keep on moving
 Where I can't be found
 Lord, they're coming after me

 I've been accused for the killin'
 Lord knows I didn't do
 For hangin' me, they are willin', yeah, yeah
 And that's why I've got to get on thru
 Lord, they're coming after me (a-one more time)

 (I say) Lord, I've got to keep on moving
 Lord, I've got to get on down
 Lord, I've got to keep on moving
 Where I can't be found
 Lord, they're coming after me

 (Now, listen) I've got two boys and a woman
 They're just gonna suffer now
 Lord, forgive me for not goin' back
 But I'll be there anyhow
 I'll be there anyhow (one more time)

 (I say) Lord, I've got to keep on moving
 Lord, I've got to get on down
 Lord, I've got to keep on moving
 Where I can't be found
 Lord, they're coming after me

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

 (I say now) Lord I've got to keep on moving
