Swamp Girl - Frankie laine/Jo Stafford[00:00:00]
Where the crane flies through the marshes[00:00:03]
And the turtles sun their shells[00:00:08]
Where the water rat goes swimmin[00:00:13]
That's where my swamp girl dwells[00:00:19]
Where the sunlight never wanders[00:00:24]
And the moonlight never falls[00:00:30]
Where the water's black with the devil's track[00:00:35]
That's where my swamp girl calls[00:00:41]
What did she say there[00:00:46]
The girl with the golden hair[00:00:47]
To make me follow her down there[00:00:49]
How did she look when she took me by the hand[00:00:52]
Tonight her hair will float in the water[00:00:58]
And the gold will no longer shine[00:01:01]
It will spread like a fan in the water[00:01:04]
While she makes a mysterious sign[00:01:07]
I have seen that sign before[00:01:10]
Her eyes aren't like the whippoorwill[00:01:14]
And her eyes aren't like the frog[00:01:19]
Her eyes are like the damned bat[00:01:24]
Stretchin' in the dawn[00:01:29]
I have seen her face in the water[00:01:32]
And the chilling look in her eyes[00:01:35]
And if you see her then you must flee her[00:01:38]
Never follow where disillusion lies[00:01:41]
Or will you go to the girl with the golden hair[00:01:44]
Down there where her work is done[00:01:48]
Will you embrace the night[00:01:50]
And turn your back on the sun[00:01:52]
She'll say its better there in the water[00:01:56]
Where it's cool and calm and serene[00:01:59]
She will call you to come to the water[00:02:02]
To a world made of emerald green[00:02:05]
I have heard that call before[00:02:08]
I can hear it when I'm teary[00:02:12]
I can hear it when I'm old[00:02:16]
I can hear it when the joy of living[00:02:21]
Seems to have lost its glow[00:02:26]
For my Swamp Girl lives inside of me[00:02:30]
And she leaves me pale and wan[00:02:35]
She dares me she tears me[00:02:39]
Like paper dolls are torn[00:02:45]
Calling Come to the deep[00:02:49]
Where your sleep is without a dream[00:02:52]
