Intro
Em Em C D Em
[Verse]
Em
The mountains were a prison for their family of nine
Am D Em
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
Am D Em
So when daddy found another way to make a livin' it was easy to turn her back
Em
Now Rufus was the oldest and he knew Bell County well
Am D Em
He could hunt and fish like any grown man and take care of his self
Em
So his daddy put him to runnin' shine when he was just 12 years old
C D Em
Said it might not be the right thing, but it sure beats minin' coal
[Chorus]
Em Am
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Em Am
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Em Am
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Em Em C D Em
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
Em
So one fall night when the moon was bright enough to light his way
Am D Em
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
Am D Em
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
Am D Em
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
Am D
He had a funny talk and a brand new car and been askin' around
[Chorus]
Em Am
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Em Am
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Em Am
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Am Em Em C D Em
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
Em
Oh but Rufus knew those mountain roads like the back of his hand
Am D Em
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
Am D Em
There was one bad road that they didn't know that revenuer never stood a chance
[Chorus]
Em Am
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Em Am
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Em Am
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Am Em Em C D Em
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
