Everglades
(Indisponível)
He was born and raised around jacksonville. a nice young man,
Not the kind to kill.
But a jealous fight and a flashing blade sent him on the run to
The everglades. runnin' like a dog through the everglades.
Now, the posse went in and they came back out. they said he'll
Die and there ain't no doubt.
It's an eye for an eye so the debt is paid. he won't last long
In the everglades. a man can't live in the everglades.
Chorus:
Where a man can hide and never be found and have no fear of the
Bayin' hounds.
But he better keep movin' and don't stand still. if the
'skeeters don't get then the 'gaters will. runnin' like a dog
Through the everglades. (last time - skippin' like a frog
Through the slimy bog. runnin' through the trees from the
Everlys.)
Now, the years went by and his girl was wed. his fam'ly gave him
Up for dead.
But now and then the natives would say they'd seen him runnin'
Through the everglades.
Now, he never heard the news on the radio. he was deep in the
'glades so he'll never know.
His runnin' and hidin' didn't make much sense for the jury had
Ruled it was self-defense.
Running like a dog through the everglades.
(chorus)
