But the jealous fight and the flashing blade Sent him on the run through the everglades Runnin' like the dog through the everglades Well the Possy went in and he came back out And said he'll die and there ain't no doubt It's an eye for a eye so the death is fate he 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 bayin' hound But he better keep movin' and don't stand still If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will Now the years went by and his girl was wed his family gave him up for dead But now and then the natives would say they'd seen him runnin' through the everglades Runnin' like the dog through the everglades He'd never heard the news on the radio he was deep in the glades and he'll never know He's runnin' and hidin' doesn't make much sense The jury had ruled it was self defence the jury had ruled it was self defence Now a man can hide...

Review about Everglades Missing lines | Reviewer: Ken Klosterhaus | 8/9/2007 My older brother has/had this record and I listened a lot in my yout'. I just recall several lines a little differently, but I cain't prove it. I.e., I believe "Possy" is "posse", a group of deputized people acting under the direction of local law enforcement; therefore, `they' or 'it' came out, not 'he'. Gramatically, even with the rhetorical coloration, would be 'eye for an eye', not 'a eye'. I recall a more folksy "a'movin' and a'runnin'" with the letter 'a' added, and defence, in America, is spelled with an 's', the 'c' is the British spelling. And I don't remember repetition of the "jury had ruled..." line. However, I recall a fade out with lines such as; "runnin' like a dog through the Everglades... skippin' through the bog like a slimey frog... and then fade out...... Is this review helpful to you?
