[Chorus]
C G
Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin'
Em
Jeff Canady's comin' and he eats little youngin's
C G
His wife is a witch and Jeff can switch
C
From a snake to a frog or an old mad dog
D Em
So you better leave him alone.
[Verse 1]
G C G
My sister was a backward child she never walked a step
C G
She crawled around the old home place and always needed help
D C D C
At eight years old she never walked and never went to school
D C D Em
The teacher said she couldn't help she'd grow to be a fool.
[Verse 2]
G C G
We took her to a fine surgeon he said dear folks I dread
C G
The body's strong but her mind won't grow, it's something in her head
D C D C
Now there was a bum who walked around way back in those days
D C D Em
And momma would say we'd better be good or he'd take us kids away.
[Chorus]
C G
Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin'
Em
Jeff Canady's comin' and he eats little youngin's
C G
His wife is a witch and Jeff can switch
C
From a snake to a frog or an old mad dog
D Em
So you better leave him alone.
[Verse 3]
G C G
We sheltered Sis from snakes and frogs and when the mad dogs came
C G
But the one thing that she feared the most was old Jeff Canady's name
D C D C
One day old Jeff came down the road when sister played alone
D C D Em
She screamed and squirmed and then decided she was there alone.
[Verse 4]
G C G
She jumped and ran to momma's arms as Jeff went on his way
C G
But thank the Lord my sister walks until this very day
D C D C
I guess old Jeff is walking yet down heavens lonesome mile
D C D Em
But beneath his beard I swear I bet he wears a great big smile.
[Chorus]
C G
Hurry, hurry, children you better get a runnin'
