Eliza Gilkyson - Runnin' Away
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G  
Did you ever see a little mouse running through the furrows
D'ya ever see the hole in the Dground that he burrows
He's Grunning away, aCway, away
From the Geagle and the owl and the Dold hawk-Gsparrow
Did you ever see the big bird flapping through the woods
Squawkin' and a-yawkin' up, Dsomething no good
He's Grunning away, aCway, away
From the Gbig tom cat that would Deat him if he Gcould
CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Sinner, make your legs pound
I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
I'm Crunning away, away, away
To a Gplace I know where I'll Dnever be Gfound
Did you ever see the tom cat clawing up the oak
Heading for the top just as Dthough he was smoke
He's Grunning away, aCway, away
From the Gbig hound dog that he Djust done Gwoke
Did you ever see the hound dog wolfing through the grass
With his tail up ahead so he Dwouldn't be last
He's Grunning away, aCway, away
From the Gbig boy aiming with his Dshotgun Gblast
CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Sinner, make your legs pound
I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
I'm Crunning away, away, away
To a Gplace I know where I'll Dnever be Gfound
INSTRUMENTAL:      G    D    G    C    G   D          G     C   G  
Did you ever see the big boy running through the trees
Scared of his shadow and Deverything he sees
He's Grunning away, aCway, away
Furry Gdevil right behind, gonna Dbring him to his Gknees
Now, mean old devil gotta run on too
'Cause the almighty hand of the Dbig man moves
Gonna Gblow him away, aCway, away
EveryGbody gotta pay when the Dday is Gthrough
CHORUS:
Ah, hurry up, Sinner, make your legs pound
I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground
I'm Crunning away, away, away
To a Gplace I know where I'll Dnever be Gfound
To a place I know where I'll Dnever be Gfound
