Song by James Carter & the Prisoners<br /><br>

Well, the high sheriff<br>

He told his deputy<br>

Want you go out and bring me Lazarus<br>

Well, the high sheriff<br>

Told his deputy<br>

I want you go out and bring me Lazarus<br>

Bring him dead or alive,<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

Bring him dead or alive<br>

Well the deputy he told the high sheriff<br>

I ain't gonna mess with Lazarus<br>

Well the deputy he told the high sheriff<br>

Says I ain't gonna mess with Lazarus<br>

Well he's a dangerous man<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

He's a dangerous man<br>

Well then the high sheriff, he found Lazarus<br>

He was hidin' in the chill of a mountain<br>

Well the high sheriff, found Lazarus<br>

He was hidin' in the chill of the mountain<br>

With his head hung down<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

With his head hung down<br>

Well then the high sheriff, he told Lazarus<br>

He says Lazarus I come to arrest you<br>

Well the high sheriff, told Lazarus<br>

Says Lazarus I come to arrest you<br>

And bring ya dead or alive<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

Bring you dead or alive<br>

Well then Lazarus, he told the high sheriff<br>

Says I never been arrested<br>

Well Lazarus, told the high sheriff<br>

Says I never been arrested<br>

By no one man<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

By no one man<br>

And then the high sheriff, he shot Lazarus<br>

Well, he shot him mighty big number<br>

Well the high sheriff, shot Lazarus<br>

Well he shot him with a mighty big number<br>

With a forty five<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

With a forty five<br>

Well then they take old Lazarus<br>

Yes they laid him on the commissary gallery<br>

Well they taken poor Lazarus<br>

And the laid him on the commissary gallery<br>

He said my wounded side<br>

Lawd, Lawd<br>

My wounded side<br>
