The sheriff told the deputy
Bring me Lazarus
The sheriff told the deputy
Bring me Lazarus
Dead or alive
Great God, dead or alive

Well, the deputy wondered
Where in the world to find him
Well, the deputy wondered
Where in the world to find him
I don't know
Great God, I just don't know

They found poor Lazarus
Between two mountains
They found poor Lazarus
Between two mountains
And they blowed him down
Great God, they blowed him down

Well, Lazarus told the deputy
I ain't never been arrested
Well, Lazarus told the deputy
I ain't never been arrested
But no one mind
But no one mind

Well, they killed poor Lazarus
With a mighty number
Well, they killed poor Lazarus
With a mighty number
A number 45
A number 45

Well, they took poor Lazarus
To the commissary counter
Well, they took poor Lazarus
To the commissary counter
And they walked away
Great God, they walked away

Well, Lazarus' mother
Well, she come runnin'
Well, Lazarus' mother
Well, she come runnin'
Cry, "My only son
Great God, my only son!"

Captain, have you heard
Your men gonna leave you
Captain, have you heard
Your men gonna leave you
Next payday
Great God, next payday
