Lyrics for Everglades by Kingston Trio:
| | | Artist: | Kingston Trio |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Everglades | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 65 | | | | Lyrics: | Harlan Howard
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) | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
