Po Lazarus Lyrics

Po Lazarus lyrics



Well, the high sheriff

He told his deputy

Want you go out and bring me Lazarus

Well, the high sheriff

Told his deputy

I want you go out and bring me Lazarus

Bring him dead or alive,

Lawd, Lawd

Bring him dead or alive

Well the deputy he told the high sheriff

I ain't gonna mess with Lazarus

Well the deputy he told the high sheriff

Says I ain't gonna mess with Lazarus

Well he's a dangerous man

Lawd, Lawd

He's a dangerous man

Well then the high sheriff, he found Lazarus

He was hidin' in the chill of a mountain

Well the high sheriff, found Lazarus

He was hidin' in the chill of the mountain

With his head hung down

Lawd, Lawd

With his head hung down

Well then the high sheriff, he told Lazarus

He says Lazarus I come to arrest you

Well the high sheriff, told Lazarus

Says Lazarus I come to arrest you

And bring ya dead or alive

Lawd, Lawd

Bring you dead or alive

Well then Lazarus, he told the high sheriff

Says I never been arrested

Well Lazarus, told the high sheriff

Says I never been arrested

By no one man

Lawd, Lawd

By no one man

And then the high sheriff, he shot Lazarus

Well, he shot him mighty big number

Well the high sheriff, shot Lazarus

Well he shot him with a mighty big number

With a forty five

Lawd, Lawd

With a forty five

Well then they take old Lazarus

Yes they laid him on the commissary gharry

Well they taken poor Lazarus

And the laid him on the commissary gharry

He said my wounded side

Lawd, Lawd

My wounded side
