He's A Runner

(album: More Than A New Discovery - 1967)

He's a runner, and he'll run away soon there'll be no man...
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman, get away while you can...
He's a runner...

He's a runner, and he'll run away with the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Come the judgment day, come the rain...
He's a runner...

There'll come the running he'll know he's got to
Don't ask him not to, or "why, oh why?
Why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow? now I'm in chains till I die..."

He's a runner, and he'll run away soon there'll be no man...
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman, get away while you can...

He's a runner, he's a runner, and he's got to run
He's got to run away...
He's a runner...
