Daddy Raygun - The One Armed Man

Lightning strikes in Southern Indiana
A medicine man returns from a stormy day
A frightening sight appears on his veranda
The ghost of a one-armed man slips away
He wanted to tell his love that he was sorry
For a fight he knows they never should have had
The State Police, they don't believe his story
His wife is on the kitchen floor, she is dead

The County Courthouse, forgone conclusion
Found guilty, by a jury of his peers
In the Big House there will be no absolution
Just a final prayer on a rosary of tears
Then fate derails his train this side of Hades
A reprieve from the chair... electrified
On the run for the murder of his lady
On the hunt for that killer, who... vaporized

Wanted
By the long arm of the law
Haunted
By the evil that he saw
A gauntlet
It's getting out of hand
Undaunted
He'd like to take a stand

His innocence they never will believe
Until he finds that shadow
With nothing up his sleeve

The One-Armed Man
The One-Armed Man
The One-Armed Man
Catch him if you can
The One-Armed Man... run

The doctor is called upon to care again
Helps the sick to get well along the way
There will be no rest for this Good Samaritan
Only flight will keep the hounds of hell at bay
With more escape's than the great Houdini
He's quite the master of disguise
Like Aladdin and his magical blue genie
The one he seeks, disappears... right before his eyes

Wanted
By the long arm of the law
Haunted
By the evil that he saw
A gauntlet
That's getting out of hand
Undaunted
He'd like to take a stand

His story they never will believe
Until he finds that devil
With nothing up his sleeve

The One-armed Man
THE One-armed man
The One-armed Man
Catch him if you can
The One-armed Man... go
