A dozen men from Arkansas swore to bring me in

Through the office of the law they persecute my kin

I have left a hundred mountains way behind

An I do believe its countin on my mind



I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further Im gonna wait by the whisky still



I robbed a man who robbed the dead well before their time

Anyone with half a head can see that aint no crime

I have left a hundred mountains in my past

An I do believe my time is comin fast



I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further Im gonna wait by the whisky still



(He can go no further) I swear I had my fill

(He can go no further) Im gonna wait by the whisky still



They shot my leg to pieces, ya know I near enough bled to death

If not for the horse between us Id still be lyin there yet

I have mastered many mountains at my best

An I do believe its time for me to rest



I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further Im gonna wait by the whisky still



(He can go no further) I swear Ive had my fill

(He can go no further) Im gonna wait here for the kill
