Run 'Em Off

Run 'Em Off - Lefty Frizzell

Now when the big bad wolf

Got in grandma's house

A little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse

And just like her

I'm scared through and through

Some two legged wolf would run away with you

So run 'em off no use to talk all day

Run 'em off they're trying to get you to play

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off

I swear you're cheating on me

Now there's an iceman and milkman

And folks out of town

They don't come to visit

They just hang around

They act just as friendly as can be

But I don't think they care a thing about me

So run 'em off don't talk too long

Run 'em off so we can be alone

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off

I swear you're cheating on me

No matter where you are or what you do

Folks start to whistle and how is you

When they get too close I wanna say Shoo

Cause it looks like they wanna

Take what bother you

So run 'em off don't talk too long

Run 'em off they are trying

To get you in Dutch

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off

I swear you're cheating on me

Now once I ended this song

But I write so more

Cause there's a half-a-dozen

Wolfs coming up to my door

And I can tell by a looking

Cause it's plain to see

That they're not here to make eyes at me

So run 'em off don't talk too long

Run 'em off so we can be alone

Run 'em off and make 'em let us be

If you don't run 'em off

I swear you're cheating on me
