Everglades - The Kingston Trio

作曲：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

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

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

Running like a dog 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

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

Skippin' like a frog

Through the slimy bog

Running through the tress

From the everglades
