When the crane flies through the marsh
And the toes are on the shells
Where the water rat goes swimmin'
That's where my swamp girl dwells
Where the sunlight never wanders
And the moon no longer falls
With the water, black as the devils breath
That's where my swamp girl calls
What did she say there?
With her golden hair
To make me follow her?
In the plot of the devil
How she did kiss me?
When she took me by the hand?
Why her hair floats on the water
And the gold no longer shines
Spread like a fan on the water
While she wasted this thing inside
I have heard that sign
And seen the sparkle in your eye
Why?
Her eyes are like the whipporwills
And her eyes are like the dawn
Her eyes are like an hourglass
Stretched out in the dark
I have seen her face in... the water...
