  Wanted  man in California,wanted man in Buffalo
  Wanted  man in Kansas city,wanted man in Ohio
  Wanted  man in Mississppi,wanted man in ol' Cheyenne
  Wherever you  might look tonight you might see this wanted man
  I  might be in Colorado,or Georgia by the sea
  Working for some  man who may not know at all who i might be
  If  you ever see me coming and if you know who i am
  Don't you breathe it to nobody  'cause you know i'm on the lamb
  Wanted  man by Lucy Watson,wanted man by Jeannie Brown
 
  Wanted man by  Nellie Johnson,wanted man in this next town
  I've  had all that i wanted of a lot of things  i've had
 
  And a lot more than i  needed of some things that turned out bad

  I  got a sidetracked in El Paso,stopped to get myself a map
 
  Went  the wrong way in Pleura with Juanita on my back
  Went  to sleep in Shreveport,woke up in Abilene
  Wonderin' why the hell  i'm wanted at some town half way between
  Wanted  man in Albuquerque,wanted man in Syracuse
 
  Wanted  man in Tallahassee,wanted man in Baton Rouge
  There's  somebody sent to grab me anywhere that i might  be
 
   And wherever you might  look tonight you might get a glimpse of me
  Wanted  man in California,wanted man in Buffalo
  Wanted man in Kansas  city,wanted man in Ohio
  Wanted  man in Mississppi,wanted man in ol' Cheyenne
  Wherever you  might look tonight you might see this wanted man
