Merle Haggard - Run 'Em Off lyrics

Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house A little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse And just like her I'm scared through and through Some two legged wolf would run away with you. So run 'em off no use to talk all day Just run 'em off they're tryin' to get you to play Run 'em off and make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me. Now there's an iceman and 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 swear you're cheatin' on me. No matter where you are or what you do Folks start to whistle and how is you When they get too close I wanna say shoo Cause it looks like they wanna take what bother you. So run 'em off, don't talk too long You're gonna get in Dutch Run 'em off and make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me. Now once I ended this song but I write so more Cause there's a half-a-dozen wolfs comin' up to my door And I can tell by a lookin' cause it's plain to see That they're not here to make eyes at me. So run 'em off don't talk too long You're gonna get in Dutch Run 'em off and make 'em let us be If you don't run 'em off I swear you're cheatin' on me...
