Fugitive Blues Lyrics


Yeah, they named me Richard Kimble,
'cause I been runnin' so long
Yeah, they named me Richard Kimble,
'cause I been runnin' so long
Yeah, you know they got me accused of murder,
when I ain't did no one wrong
Got me accused of killing my wife,
I wouldn't harm a strand of hair in her head
Got me accused of killing my wife,
wouldn't harm a strand of hair in her head
You know the set, I went home one evenin',
and found my wife was dead
Yes, I did
I'm gonna keep on runnin' him,
yes, until the sole of his shoe get thin
I'm gonna keep on runnin' him,
yes, 'til the sole of his shoe get thin
Yes, but when I catch that one old man,

I can go turn myself in
Yeah, you know a man can't help but feel bad,
when he's always on the run
Man can't help but feel bad,
when he's always on the run
You know it make him feel so bad,
when it ain't anything he have done

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
