Verse 1
D 
He was born
A 
and raised around Jacksonville
D 
A nice young man, not the kind to kill
G 
But a jealous fight, a flashing blade
A 
D 
Sent him on the run to the Everglades
A 
Running like a dog through
D 
the Everglades
Now the posse went in
A 
and they come back out
Em 
They said he'd die and
D 
there ain't no doubt
G 
It's an eye for an eye, the debt is paid
A 
D 
He won't last long in the Everglades
A 
D 
A man can't live in the Everglades
G 
Where a man can hide
D 
and never be found
A 
D 
And have no fear of the bayonet hound
But he'd better keep a -movin'
G 
and don't stand still
A 
The skeeters don't get him
D 
and the gators will
A 
If the skeeters don't get him
D 
G 
then the gators will
D

D 
Now the years went by
A 
and his girl was wed
D 
His family gave him up for dead
G 
But now and then the natives would say they'd
A 
D 
seen him a running through the Everglades
A 
Running like a dog through
D 
the Everglades
A 
Now he never heard the news on the radio
Em 
He was deep in the glades
G 
D 
and you'll never know
He's running in a hide
G 
and didn't make much sense.
A 
D 
The jury had ruled it was self -defense
A 
D 
The jury had ruled it was self -defense
G 
Where a man can hide
D 
and never be found
A 
D 
And have no fear of the bayonet hound
But he'd better keep a -movin'
G 
and don't stand still
A 
If the Skeeters don't get him,
D 
then the Gators will
A 
If the Skeeters don't get him,
D 
then the Gators will
