Narrow Escape |
| Lejos and Mary |
| Lay dazed in Liula |
| Dreaming of tropical signs |
| As Lejos lay sleeping |
| She knelt over him weeping |
| Feeling the weight of his crimes |
| It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town |
| And he’s just licking his wounds for a spell |
| But it won’t take long for the boys to catch on And soon he’ll be running like hell |
| Run Lejos run |
| This ain’t no time for that ball and chain |
| Run Lejos run |
| Climb on that pony and ride like you never done |
| Ride like you never done |
| Well their love it was long |
| It was gentle and strong |
| And for a while she forgot his sins |
| And she kissed him for love |
| She kissed him for luck |
| She kissed him one time for a kid |
| Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning |
| They come-a blasting through the windows and walls |
| And when the smoke it did clear |
| somebody cried out he ain’t here |
| Killed ourselves a woman that’s all |
| Run Lejos run |
| This ain’t no time for that ball and chain |
| Run Lejos run |
| Climb on that pony and ride like you never done |
| Ride like you never done |
