Kingston Trio - Everglades

He was ^Gborn and raised around ^DJacksonville A ^Cnice young man, not the ^Gkind to kill But a jealous fight and a ^Cflashin' blade ^DSent him on the run to the ^GEverglades ^GRunnin' like a ^Fdog through the ^GEverglades

Now, the ^Gposse went in and they ^Dcame back out They ^Csaid he'll die and there ^Gain't no doubt It's an ^Geye for an eye so the ^Cdebt is paid He ^Dwon't last long in the ^GEverglades A ^Gman can't ^Flive in the ^GEverglades

Where a ^Cman can hide and ^Gnever be found And ^Dhave no fear of the ^Gbayin' hounds But he ^Gbetter keep movin' and ^Cdon't stand still If the ^Dskeeters don't get him then the ^Ggators will

Now, the ^Gyears went by and his ^Dgirl was wed His ^Cfamily gave him ^Gup for dead But ^Gnow and then the ^Cnatives would say They'd ^Dseen him runnin' through the ^GEverglades ^GRunnin' like a ^Fdog through the ^GEverglades

Now, he ^Gnever heard the news on the ^Dradio He was ^Cdeep in the 'glades so he'll ^Gnever know His ^Grunnin' and hidin' didn't ^Cmake much sense For the j^Dury had ruled it was ^Gself-defense ^GRunnin' like a ^Fdog through the ^GEverglades

Where a ^Cman can hide and ^Gnever be found And ^Dhave no fear of the ^Gbayin' hounds But he ^Gbetter keep movin' and ^Cdon't stand still If the ^Dskeeters don't get him then the ^Ggators will

^GRunnin' like a ^Fdog through the ^GEverglades ^GSkippin' like a ^Ffrog through the ^Gslimy bog ^GRunnin' through the ^Ftrees from the ^GEverlys
