Runnin Away - Eliza Gilkyson

Didja ever see a little mouse

Runnin thru the furrows

Didja ever see the hole in the ground that he burrows

He’s runnin away away away

From the eagle and the owl and the old hawk sparrow

Didja ever see the big bird flappin thru the woods

Swawkin' & a-yawkin' up ta sum’n no good he’s

Runnin' away away away

From the big tom cat that would eat him if he could

Oh hurry up sinner make yer legs pound im runnin on the top im runnin on the

ground im

Runnin away away away

To a place I know where I’ll never be found

IDidja ever see a tom cat a clawin' up an oak

Headin' for the too just as tho he were smoke

He’s runnin' away, away, away

From the big hound dog that he just done woke

Didja ever see a hound dog movin' thru the grass with his tail up ahead so it

wouldnt be last

he’s runnin away, away, away

From the big boy aimin' with his shotgun blast!

Oh hurry up sinner make yer legs pound Im runnin on the too im runnin on the

ground Im

Runnin away away away

To a place i know where ill never be found
