In the bathtub, taking a shower
It was late don't know the hour
Heard the sirens away across town
Looked out my door my house burned down
Running bare, down the sidewalk
The neighbors seeing what they could see
Running bare, down the sidewalk
Running bare, what they called me
Went to the river, to take a swim
I hung my britches upon a limb
Some girls came by you know what they done
They took my clothes away they run
Running bare, down the creek bank
The skeeters playing a tune on me
Running bare, down the creek bank
Running bare, what they called me
My girl friend called said come around
Cause my husband's out of town
Time I got there, he walked in
Please notify my next of kin
Running bare, through the bushes
Dodging bullets from tree to tree
Running bare, through the bushes
Running bare, what they called me
Running bare, down the sidewalk
Running bare, from tree to tree
Running bare, down the sidewalk
Running bare, what they called me
