When de leaves begin to fall
you better run brudder possum run,
Mockin' bird commencing to call
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
You better run somewhar an' hide.
D'ole moon am sinkin' down behind de tree,
D'ole coon am thinkin' whar you gwinter to flee,
D'ole dog am blinkin'
and frisky as can be,
yo chances I'm thinkin'
look slim to me.

You better run, run, run
I tell you run brudder possum run.
You better run, run, run
I tell you
d'ole coon's got a gun.
Young coons all gigalin'
cause dey knows dere's gwinter to be some fun.
You better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
you better run brudder possum run.

'Simmons ripenin' mighty fas'
you better run brudder possum run,
Summer ain't gwine always las'
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
you better run somewhat an' hide.
You sho' is cunnin',
but you gettin' too fat,
D'ole dog is runnin'
right to whar you'se at,
D'ole coon is gunnin'
jes lemme tell you dat,
Tain' no time for funnin'
so grab your hat.

You better run, run, run
I tell you run brudder possum run.
You better run, run, run
I tell you
d'ole coon's got a gun.
Young coons all gigalin'
cause dey knows dere's gwinter to be some fun.
You better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
you better run brudder possum run.

Mr. Possum take a tip
you better run brudder possum run,
Tain' no use in actin' flip,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
you better run somewhar an' hide.
Dey gwine to houn' you
all along de line,
when dey done foun' you
whas de use in sigh'n
Wid tatters roun' you
sholy would taste fine,
Den 'fo' dey done groun' you
jes git to fly'n.

You better run, run, run
I tell you run brudder possum run.
You better run, run, run
I tell you
d'ole coon's got a gun.
Young coons all gigalin'
cause dey knows dere's gwinter to be some fun.
You better run brudder possum
an' git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
git out de way,
you better run brudder possum
an' git out de way
you better run brudder possum run.
