Lord I gotta keep on moving

Lord I gotta get on down

Lord I gotta keep on moving

Where I can't be found

Law they're coming after me

I've been accused of a killing

Lord knows I didn't do

They're hanging me they are willing yeah

That's why I gotta get on through

Lord they're coming after me

Lord I gotta keep on moving

Lord I gotta get on down

Lord I gotta keep on moving

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me

I've got two boys and a woman

They're just gonna suffer now

Lord forgive me for not going back

But I'll be there anyhow

I'll be there anyhow

Lord I gotta keep on moving

Lord I gotta get on down

Lord I gotta keep on moving

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me

Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land

Somewhere not by or near anyone
