 (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

 

 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
