Intro
G#m G#m E F# G#m
[Verse]
G#m
The mountains were a prison for their family of nine
C#m F# G#m
No where to go no place to work unless you crawled down in the mines
And his momma knew the sound of a man's lungs turnin' black
C#m F# G#m
So when daddy found another way to make a livin' it was easy to turn her back
G#m
Now Rufus was the oldest and he knew Bell County well
C#m F# G#m
He could hunt and fish like any grown man and take care of his self
G#m
So his daddy put him to runnin' shine when he was just 12 years old
E F# G#m
Said it might not be the right thing, but it sure beats minin' coal
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
G#m C#m
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
G#m C#m
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
G#m G#m E F# G#m
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
G#m
So one fall night when the moon was bright enough to light his way
C#m F# G#m
Rufus loaded up that old sedan, said I'll be back 'fore the break of day
But as he turned onto highway 119 he heard three shot gun blasts
C#m F# G#m
And his blood ran cold and wondered, could this run be his last?
And his momma never closed her eyes that night when he left home
C#m F# G#m
She tossed and turned and walked the floor prayin' nothin' would go wrong
'Cause her thoughts were on a stranger she'd heard about from town
C#m F#
He had a funny talk and a brand new car and been askin' around
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
G#m C#m
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
G#m C#m
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
C#m G#m G#m E F# G#m
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
G#m
Oh but Rufus knew those mountain roads like the back of his hand
C#m F# G#m
He could take those curves on two wheels in a beat up old Sedan
So he ran 'em up the holler and lost 'em somewhere round William's Branch
C#m F# G#m
There was one bad road that they didn't know that revenuer never stood a chance
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
G#m C#m
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
G#m C#m
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
C#m G#m G#m E F# G#m
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
