Run a mile run a mile to the river
Gonna throw off the huntin' hounds
Run a mile run a mile to the river
Gonna wash away or drown
Well I only there for a minute, I was only passing through
I was only being friendly but her pappy said he'd send me to the grave for what I wanted to do
I should've known when she was so willing, I should've known that she was just a kid
I should've known that I was a stranger and that I would be in danger over something that I never did
Chorus
