Mister did you come in search of water
I'll bet you're thirsty, wrong or right
How'd you like to be my partner
Mister will you ride with me tonight

There's a house upon the hillside
The people there ain't no damn good
They've got gold and they've got silver
I'd like to have it if I could

Chorus:

Feel that wind
Feel it blow
There's worse than stealin'
When a man is tired and cold

You know my life has been a nightmare
I won't bore you with the news
But I can sum you up by lookin'
I ain't no hungrier than you

Hey friend, sorry that you're dyin'
I didn't know he had a gun
Such a shame to leave you lyin'
But you know I've got to run

You know the law has got a long arm
I've been around I know it well
But if they're ever gonna catch me
They'll have to chase me into hell
