Were you were raised by the river Down in the low, low land Where the air is dark and sinister In the night there's no safe place to stand
In the reeds there are eyes that peek Voices I can't understand Flamingos flying endlessly Into the silent sky
Daughter of the everglades You never made it clear Child of the river If you wanted to be here Daughter of the everglades I never saw your tears
Well you looked like your mama Before you walked, you swam Learned to make that snake tail stew From your daddy Crazy talking fisherman
In this place there is no law The river makes all the rules What they are, I found out When I came to look for you
Daughter of the everglades Why did you bring me here? Daughter of the everglades My love has turned to fear Daughter of the everglades Let me feel you near
Well you laughed in the city But I knew after a year That you'd cry in the city I should not have brought you here So far from the bayou Down in the low, low land Don't know why you left me But now I think I understand
Take me back to the river Down in the smoky ground Where snakes crawl you don't cheat By the river you live by now In the swell of the river, the river sails so proud I should have gone there with you But now they tell me you have drowned
Daughter of the Everglades I can feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I know I'll find you hear Child of the river I can't see for tears
Daughter of the Everglades I want to feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I must find you here Child of the river I can't see for my tearsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
