Well, I've got to run to keep from hid- ing,
-4  -5   -6*  6   6  -56 -6*6-5 -5
And I'm bound to keep on  rid- ing.
-5   -5  -5  -6* -6*  -6* -6* 6-5-5-4-3
And I've got one more sil-ver dol- lar,
 4  -5  -6  -6  -6 -5   5   -5   5 -54-3 
But I'm not gon-na let ‘em catch me, no,
-6   6  6   6   6   -5   -3  -5   4    3-2*-5
Not gon-na let 'em catch the mid-night rid-er.

And I don't own the clothes I'm wear-ing,

And I've gone by the point of car- ing,
 -4  -5  -6*   6    6  6  6 -5 -5
Some old bed I'll soon be shar-ing,
-5   -5  -5  -6*  -6* -6* -6*-6*-5-5-4-3  
And I've got one more sil-ver dol- lar,
 4   -5 -6  -6  -6 -5   5   -5   5-55-3
But I'm not gon-na let 'em catch me, no
