Run Boy Run

Run Boy Run - Lee Hazlewood

You were born by a railroad track

Never knew your ma and your pa aingt coming back

Had to make your way the best you can

But you didn't have to steal from another man

Run boy run boy run boy run

They're gonna get you boy run boy run

They're gonna catch you boy run boy run

Run boy run boy run boy run

Think you're a man cause you're twenty one

Shot a man for nothing and away you run

Wanted in most every state from here to Tennessee

If you're caught you'll do your running

Hanging from a tree

Run boy run boy run boy run

They're gonna get you boy run boy run

They're gonna catch you boy run boy run

Run boy run boy run boy run

Storm clouds looking down from the sky

And hangman's noose swinging on a tree near by

The words on that tombstone that won't be read by you

Says his runnings done at twenty one

He won't see twenty two

Run boy run boy run boy run

They're gonna get you boy run boy run

They're gonna catch you boy run boy run

Run boy run boy run boy run

Run boy run boy run boy run
