"Wanted Man" by Johnny Cash (rewritten by GRA)

Wanted man in Chicago,
Wanted man in Baltimore,
Wanted man in New York City,
Wanted man the cops look for.

Now they say they will look tonight,
And will find this wanted "man,"
But there's no way I believe 'em,
They don't find blacks on the lam.

Wanted man is in New Orleans,
Set the nigga free last night,
He's a killer who has disappeared,
And he'd like to kill some Whites.

Wanted man right down in Houston,
Wanted man in Dallas town,
Wanted man, I can bet you,
That his skin is black or brown.

(Guitar break)

Wherever that you live tonight,
You might see these wanted men,
If you do, I'm gonna tell ya,
That you probably are dead.

Wanted man in Albuquerque,
Wanted man in Ohio,
Wanted man in this big city,
Lookin' for a damn negro.

(Guitar finish)
