Everglades - Skeets McDonald[00:00:00]
Written by:Harlan Howard[00:00:01]
He was born and raised around Jacksonville[00:00:10]
A nice young man not the kind to kill[00:00:14]
But the jealous fight and a flashing blade[00:00:17]
Sent him on the run through the everglades[00:00:21]
Runnin' like the dog through the everglades[00:00:24]
Well the posse went in and they came back out[00:00:29]
They said he'll die and there ain't no doubt[00:00:33]
It's an eye for an eye so the debt is paid[00:00:36]
He won't last long in the everglades[00:00:40]
A man can't live in the everglades[00:00:43]
Where a man can hide and never be found[00:00:49]
And have no fear of the baying hounds[00:00:52]
But he better keep movin' and don't stand still[00:00:56]
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatesville[00:00:59]
The skeeters don't get him in the Gatesville[00:01:03]
Now the years went by and his girl was wed[00:01:09]
His family gave him up for dead[00:01:13]
But now and then the natives would say[00:01:17]
They'd seen him a runnin' through the everglades[00:01:20]
Runnin' like the dog through the everglades[00:01:24]
Now he never heard the news on the radio[00:01:29]
He was deep in the glades and he'll never know[00:01:33]
He's runnin' and a hidin' didn't make much sense[00:01:36]
The jury had ruled it was self defence[00:01:40]
The jury had ruled it was self defence[00:01:44]
Where a man can hide and never be found[00:01:49]
And have no fear of the baying hounds[00:01:52]
But he better keep on movin' and don't stand still[00:01:56]
If the skeeters don't get him in Gatesville[00:01:59]
The skeeters don't get him in the Gatesville[00:02:03]
The skeeters don't get him in the Gatesville[00:02:06]
The skeeters don't get him in the Gatesville[00:02:10]
