Lefty Frizzell - Run 'Em Off lyrics

Now, when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse And, just like her, I'm scared through and through That some two-legged wolf would run away with you So, run 'em off No use to talk all day Run 'em off They're trying to get you to play Run 'em off Make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me Now there's an iceman, milkman, and folks out of town They don't come to visit, they just hang around They act just as friendly as can be But I don't think they care a thing about me So run 'em off Don't talk too long Run 'em off So we can be alone Run 'em off And make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me No matter where you are or what you do Folks all a-whistle and howl at you When they get too close then I want to say, shoo 'Cause it looks like they want to take a bite of you So run 'em off Don't talk too much Run 'em off You're gonna get in dutch Run 'em off And make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me Now once I ended this song but I'll write some more 'Cause there's a half a dozen wolfs coming up to my door I can tell by looking, 'cause it's plain to see That they're not here to make eyes at me Run 'em off (run 'em off) Don't want them hanging around Run 'em off (run 'em off) You'll be the talk of the town Run 'em off (run 'em off) And make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I'll swear you're cheating on me
