Squawkin' and a-yawkin' up, something no good

    C
I'm running away, away, away

     G                       D        G
To a place I know where I'll never be found

Did you ever see the tom cat clawing up the oak

With his tail up ahead so he wouldn't be last

He's running away, away, away

         G                       D       G
From the big boy aiming with his shotgun blast

CHORUS: Ah, hurry up, Sinner, make your legs pound I'm running on the top, I'm running on the ground

    C
I'm running away, away, away

     G                       D        G

INSTRUMENTAL: G D G C G D G C G Did you ever see the big boy running through the trees

                         D

He's running away, away, away

      G                         D                G
Furry devil right behind, gonna bring him to his knees

Now, mean old devil gotta run on too

                                D
'Cause the almighty hand of the big man moves

Gonna blow him away, away, away

     G                       D      G
Everybody gotta pay when the day is through

    C
I'm running away, away, away

     G                       D        G

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