  • 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

    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

    And then the high sheriff, he shot Lazarus
    Well, he shot him mighty big number

    Well he shot him with a mighty big number

    Yes they laid him on the commissary gallery
    Well they taken poor Lazarus
    And the laid him on the commissary gallery
