Everglades Lyrics - Singles - George Hamilton Iv

He was born and raised around Jacksonville 

A nice young man not the kind to kill 

But the jealous fight and a flashing blade 

Sent him on the run through the Everglades 

Runnin' like the dog through the Everglades 

Now the posse went in and they came back out 

And said he'll die and there ain't no doubt 

It's an eye for an eye the debt is paid 

You 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 baying hounds 

But he better keep movin' and don't stand still 

If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville 

If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Now the years went by and his girl was wed 

His family gave him up for dead 

Now and then the natives would say 

They'd seen him a runnin' through the Everglades 

Runnin' like the dog through the Everglades 

Now he never heard the news on the radio 

He was deep in the glades and he'll never know 

He's runnin' and a hidin' and didn't make much sense 

The jury had ruled it was self-defence 

The jury had ruled it was self-defence 

Where a man can hide...
