The Delmore Brothers - Alton & Rabon

The Fugitive's Lament

I hear the sad howling of coyotes prowling
It sounds so mournful to me
It brings back memories of cherished loved ones
Of ones I'm longing to see

I'm riding along out on the lone prairie
The rangers are searching for me
I'm riding away from my home in Texas
A fugitive ever to be

I had a good mother, I had a good father
They handed a warning to me
The men that I ran with commited a murder
And laid the blame on me

I'm riding along out on the lone prairie
The rangers are searching for me
I'm riding away from my home in Texas
A fugitive ever to be

Little Maggie my sweetheart I know she's lonely
And longs for me to return
My happiness ended the night we parted
And now for her I yearn

I'm riding along out on the lone prairie
The rangers are searching for me
I'm riding away from my home in Texas
A fugitive ever to be

How lonely how dreary with nothing to cheer me
My thoughts go stealing back home
My life of sadness will never know gladness
I'm branded forever to roam

I'm riding along out on the lone prairie
The rangers are searching for me
I'm riding away from my home in Texas
A fugitive ever to be
