[Chorus]

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Lord I gotta get on down.

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me.

I've been accused of a killing

Lord knows I didn't do

For hanging me they are willing yeah

That's why I gotta get on through.

Law is coming after me.

[Chorus]

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Lord I gotta get on down.

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me.

I've got two boys and a woman

They're just gonna suffer now.

Lord forgive me for not going back

But I'll be there anyhow,

I'll be there anyhow.

[Chorus]

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Lord I gotta get on down.

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me.

Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land

Somewhere not by or near anyone.

Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman.

And my two grown up son's,

My two grown up sons.

[Chorus]

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Lord I gotta get on down.

Lord I gotta keep on moving.

Where I can't be found

Law is coming after me.
