Everglades The Kingston Trio
[D] [G] [A7] [D] [G] [A7]
[D]He was born and raised around [A]Jacksonville
A nice young man not the [D]kind to kill
But a jelous fight and a [G]flashing blade
[A]Sent him on a run through t[D]he Everglades
Running like a [A]dog through the [D]Everglades
Now the possee went in and they came back out
They said he'll die and ther ain't no doubt
Its an eye for an eye so the debt is paid
He wont last long in the Everglades
A man can't live in the Everglades
[G]Where a man can hide [A]and never be found
[G]And have no fear of the [D]bayin' hound
[D]But he'd better keep 'er movin' [G]and don't stand still
[A]If the 'squiters don't get him[D] then the gators will
[D] [G] [A7] [D] [G] [A7]
Now the years went by and his girl was wed
His family gave him up for dead
But now and then the natives would say
They'd seen him running through the Everglades
Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Now he never heard the news on the radio
He was deep in the glades he'll never know
His runnin' and hide'n didn't make much sense
For the jury had ruled it was self defense
Runnin' like a dog throught the Everglades
End: Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Skippen' like a dog through the slimy bog
Runnin' through the trees from the everly's
[D] [G] [A7] [D] [G] [A7]
