Fugitive Breakdown

I hurried through the darkness
The last time my darling to see
I heard those bloodhounds crying
The sheriff was coming after me

She had the sun in her hair
        Lips like cherry wine
        She loved nobody slse
        Now I sit and pine

They said I killed a stranger
They tried to hang me high
I ran as fast as I could go
I wished that I could fly

* Refrain
