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 ain't 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 the kid
Well they came in without 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 ain't never done
Ride like you ain't never done
