(Harlan Howard)
2
He was born and raised around Jacksonville
3
A nice young man 'bout the kind to kill
4
But the jealous fight and the flashing blades
5
Sent him on the run through the everglades.
6
Running like the dog through the everglades.
7
Where a man can hide and never be found
8
And never have fear of the baying hounds
9
Better keep movin' don't stand still
10
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
11
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville.
12
--- Instrumental ---
13
Well, the posse went in and they came back out
14
And said he'll die and there ain't no doubt
15
It's an eye for an eye the debt is paid
16
It won't last long in the everglades
17
A man can't live in the everglades.
18
But a man can hide and never be found
19
And never have fear of the baying hounds
20
Better keep movin' don't stand still
21
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
22
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville.
23
--- Instrumental ---
24
Now the years went by and his girl was wed
25
His family gave up they thought he was dead
26
Now and then the people would say
27
They had seen him runnin' through the everglades
28
Runnin' like the dog through the everglades.
29
Where a man can hide and never be found
30
And never have fear of the baying hounds
31
Better keep movin' don't stand still
32
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
33
If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville...
