Subject: Lyr Add: Origins??? Scout Song Runboy From: Tinker Date: 04 Dec 02 - 08:37 PM I learnt this song at a Girl Scout Camp (Bonnie Brea in Massachusetts) in the sixties and it's one my kids have loved. But does anyone know where it came from??? Imagine 200 girls and two part harmony on the chorus... Tinker RUNBOY (C/F/G7/C) Chorus: Run boy. Run boy. Run boy, run. They're gonna get you boy, run boy, run. They're gonna get you boy, run boy, run. Run boy. Run boy. Run boy run. You were born by a railroad track Never seen your mom and your pa ain't comin' back Had to make your way the best you can But you didn't have to steal from another man. Think you're a man cause you're twenty one Shot a man for nothing and away you run You're wanted in most every state from here to Tennessee And if you're caught you'll do your running hanging from a tree Storm clouds hanging down from the sky Judge and a jury waitin' near by Verse on a tombstone that won't be read by you Says your runnin's done at twenty one, you won't see twenty two. Learnt at GS Camp Bonnie Brea 1968 KAD |
