They're going to punish me for something that I didn't do I didn't know her before today Now I walk across the sand And I sail across the sea As long as they are after me But I've got to be free With their horses and their guns They've got this man on the run But what I have done remains a mystery to me They're going to punish me for something that I didn't do I was a fool to feel this way Now I curse the day we met 'Cause I'm looking over my shoulder Always running for cover I just can't find any shelter
Now there's nothing left to say And there's nothing more I can do I believed her when she told me that she loved me too They're going to punish me for something that I didn't do I didn't know her before today Now I walk across the sand And I sail across the sea They've got their nooses ready Hanging underneath a tree With their horses and their guns They've got this man on the run But what I have done remains a mystery to me They're going to punish me for something that I didn't do
