Hank Snow Runt Lyrics:
RUNT (Johnny McRae) « © '66 Ly-Rann Music »

Rough him up and shove him down make him cry when
he comes around Treat him any way you want after
all he's just runt just a little runt Runt is what
they called him but his name was Buddy Grey He
lived out on Maple Street bout a mile away
Hand-me-downs were all he wore poverty and nothing
more Always someone laying for the runt They catch
him in the school year when he came out to play
Then get him in a circle where he couldn't get
away They'd shove him here and they'd shove him
there If he fell down nobody cared Just anything
to keep him scared the runt Then one day walking
home from school the teasing went just too far

They chased the runt out in the street nobody saw
the car They only heard that awful sound they saw
the broken body on the ground Then everybody
gathered around the runt They buried him on Sunday
his classmates all were there And the tears filled
each and every eye when runt's mother said a
prayer Lord even though you've taken him I think I
understand He's finished the job you've sent him
for and done it like you planned If you made all
people to look the same it just wouldn't be right
I guess So you put a few now and then like my
little runt to bring others' happiness His
shortness makes others feel tall his weakness
makes others feel strong His features make others
feel pretty and handsome And his sadness brings
others a song So rough him up and shove him down
make him cry when he comes around Treat him any
way you want but thank God for the runt Yes thank
you God for my little runt
