| He was born and raised around Jacksonville |
| A nice young man 'bout the kind to kill |
| But the jealous fight and the flashing blades |
| Sent him on the run through the everglades. |
| Running like the dog through the everglades. |
| Where a man can hide and never be found |
| And never have fear of the baying hounds |
| Better keep movin' don’t stand still |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in Gatersville. |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in the Gatersville. |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| Well, 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 |
| It won’t last long in the everglades |
| A man can’t live in the everglades. |
| But a man can hide and never be found |
| And never have fear of the baying hounds |
| Better keep movin' don’t stand still |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in Gatersville. |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in the Gatersville. |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| Now the years went by and his girl was wed |
| His family gave up they thought he was dead |
| Now and then the people would say |
| They had seen him runnin' through the everglades |
| Runnin' like the dog through the everglades. |
| Where a man can hide and never be found |
| And never have fear of the baying hounds |
| Better keep movin' don’t stand still |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in Gatersville. |
| If the skeeters don’t get him in the Gatersville… |
