Lejos and Mary   Lay dazed in Liula   Dreaming of tropical signs   As Lejos lay sleeping   She knelt over him weeping   Feeling the weight of his crimes   It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town   And he's just licking his wounds for a spell   But it won't take long for the boys to catch on   And soon he'll be running like hell   Run Lejos run   This ain't no time for that ball and chain   Run Lejos run   Climb on that pony and ride like you never done   Ride like you never done   Well their love it was long   It was gentle and strong   And for a while she forgot his sins   And she kissed him for love   She kissed him for luck   She kissed him one time for a kid   Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning   They come-a blasting through the windows and walls   And when the smoke it did clear   somebody cried out he ain't here   Killed ourselves a woman that's all   Run Lejos run   This ain't no time for that ball and chain   Run Lejos run   Climb on that pony and ride like you never done   Ride like you never done
