| Oh my brother Jake, he was on the run
| Oh mi hermano Jake, estaba huyendo
|
| The man behind him, with a Gatling gun
| El hombre detrás de él, con una pistola Gatling.
|
| I remember that morning when he hopped that freight
| Recuerdo esa mañana cuando saltó ese cargamento
|
| He was headed west, oh lord, he couldn’t be late
| Se dirigía al oeste, oh señor, no podía llegar tarde
|
| Old brother jake had to ride the rail
| El hermano mayor Jake tuvo que viajar en el tren
|
| Or get locked up in the parish jail
| O quedar encerrado en la cárcel parroquial
|
| He had a lot of weight upon his chest
| Tenía mucho peso sobre el pecho
|
| The sheriff had a warrant for his arrest
| El sheriff tenía una orden de arresto
|
| He grabbed the train and headed east
| Tomó el tren y se dirigió al este.
|
| Would his life of running never cease
| ¿Su vida de correr nunca cesaría?
|
| He hopped off the train at new york city
| Se bajó del tren en la ciudad de Nueva York
|
| Only to find- ain’t no kind of pity
| Solo para encontrar, no hay ningún tipo de lástima

|
| Back in his jungle
| De vuelta en su jungla
|
| Where he lived his life
| Donde vivió su vida
|
| Where the law of the land
| Donde la ley de la tierra
|
| It was a gun and a knife
| Era una pistola y un cuchillo
|
| Late one night, down on the avenue
| Tarde una noche, en la avenida
|
