It's 99 miles across the Turner's Turnpike!
(Some say 102
But it's not so far across the turn-a-pike
With the hangman waitin' for you!
They say there's a curse on the Turner's Turnpike
I believe that it's so
There's a highway man on the Turner's Turnpike
Everywhere I go!)
It's 99 miles across the Turner's Turnpike!
(Some say 102
But it's not so far across the turn-a-pike
With the hangman waitin' for you!
(Short mandolin solo)
I shot a man in San Antone'
And I didn't hang aroun'
He took the only girl I could call my own
A girl from Tulsa town!)
It's 99 miles across the Turner's Turnpike!
(Some say 102
But it's not so far across the turn-a-pike
With the hangman waitin' for you!

He challenged my rifle, the girl that I love
That girl from Tulsa town!
He put his hand in his pocket like he's goin' for a gun
That's when I brought him down!)
It's 99 miles across the Turner's Turnpike!

No, it's not so far across the turn-a-pike
With the hangman waitin' for you!)
