Verse:
   G                                             Em
Folks call me the bandit, a down right common thief
  G                             D              G
I make my living stealing corn, 2 miles up the creek
G                                              Em
there's a bounty on my tail by the dark of the moon
     G                                     D              G
Them ole hound dogs is on my trail, it's a sad life for a coon

Chorus:
G                                           Em
run all night, sleep all day, never spend a dollar
G                             D               G
all I own is on my back in an oak tree up the holler

verse:
    G                                               Em
Ole man McBride's got friends of mine, dryin in the sun
G                               D             G
he ain't a gonna tan my hide as long as I can run
       G                                                Em
I done fooled Ole Blue a time or two and I'm all out of tricks
     G                               D             G
he's about to put me up a stump, hey Lordy! what a fix


Chorus:
G                                           Em
run all night, sleep all day, never spend a dollar
G                             D               G
all I own is on my back in an oak tree up the holler

Solo:
***Same chord progression as the verse***
G  Em  G  D  G  G  Em  G  D  G


Verse:
    G                                               Em
Now here I sit up on a limb, they've got me dead by rights
     G                                       D             G
well Ole John points his gun and grins, he's got me in his sights
G                                                Em
then he sets his rifle down and shakes me to the ground
         G                              D                 G
it looks like I'll live to run again if I can whoop these hounds


Chorus:
G                                           Em
run all night, sleep all day, never spend a dollar
G                             D               G
all I own is on my back in an oak tree up the holler

Chorus:
G                                           Em
run all night, sleep all day, never spend a dollar
G                             D               G
all I own is on my back in an oak tree up the holler
