Everglades

H[D]e was born and raised around J[A]acksonville

A nice young man not the k[D]ind to kill

But a jelous fight and a f[G]lashing blade

S[A]ent him on a run through th[D]e Everglades

Running like a d[A]og through the E[D]verglades

Now the possee went in and they came back out
They said he'll die and ther ain't no doubt
Its an eye for an eye so the debt is paid
He wont last long in the Everglades
A man can't live in the Everglades

W[G]here a man can hide a[A]nd never be found

A[G]nd have no fear of the b[D]ayin' hound

B[D]ut he'd better keep 'er movin' a[G]nd don't stand still

I[A]f the 'squiters don't get him [D]then the gators will

Now the years went by and his girl was wed
His family gave him up for dead
But now and then the natives would say
They'd seen him running through the Everglades
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades

Now he never heard the news on the radio
He was deep in the glades he'll never know
His runnin' and hide'n didn't make much sense
For the jury had ruled it was self defense
Runnin' like a dog throught the Everglades

End: Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
     Skippen' like a dog through the slimy bog
     Runnin' through the trees from the everly's
