Everglades

He was a nice young man from Jacksonville

Yes, a nice young man, not the kind to kill

But a jealous fight and a flashing blade

Sent him on the run through the Everglades

Now he's runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

He's just runnin' like a dog through the Everglades

Well they chased him in, and they came back out

They said "He'll die, there ain't no doubt.

An eye for an eye, that's a debt that's paid,

Man can't live in the Everglades!"

He's just runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

He's just runnin' like a dog through the Everglades

Well, a man can run, and never be found

Have no fear from the baying of the hounds

Better keep movin' and don't stand still,

If the skeeters don't get you then the gators will

Well the years went by and his girl was wed

And his family gave him up for dead

But now and then, the injuns would say

"Seen him runnin' through the Everglades"

He's just runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

He's just runnin like a dog through the Everglades

Awooooo

Well he never heard the news on the radio

He was deep in the 'glades, so he'll never know

His running and hiding didn't make much sense

Because the judge ruled it was self-defense

Still he's just runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

Runnin' like a dog

He's just runnin'
