The Kingston Trio is an American folk group that helped launch the folk revival of the 1960s and continued to thrive despite the emergence of rock and roll.
The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 in the Palo Alto, California area by original lineup of Dave Guard (1934–1991), Bob Shane (1934–2020), and Nick Reynolds (1933–2008), who were just out of college. Greatly influenced by The Weavers, the calypso sounds of Harry Belafonte, and other semi-popular folk artists such as the Gateway Singers and the Tarriers

Now the years went by and his girl was wed His family gave him up for dead But now and then the natives would say They'd seen him running through the Everglades Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades
Now he never heard the news on the radio He was deep in the glades he'll never know His runnin' and hide'n didn't make much sense For the jury had ruled it was self defense Runnin' like a dog throught the Everglades
End: Runnin' like a dog through the Everglades Skippen' like a dog through the slimy bog Runnin' through the trees from the everly's
