Josephine Of The Swamps Lyrics - Grant Lee Phillips

Oh the slough winds all serpentine 

Full of black delta peat 

Yellow bronze grapes of muscadine 

Growing wild and sweet 

On the shore Lady, there ya were 

In your robes of a queen 

And your lips sang a heron's song 

In my hour of need 

And I feel I wanna' crow 

Howlin' in my sleep 

Churning in my soul 

Josephine

Oh the wasteland is plenty wide 

Far as I ever seen 

And the swamp, she's a full of moonlight 

Full of mangrove trees 

And I feel I wanna' crow 

Howlin' in my sleep 

Churning in my soul 

Josephine 

Pity darkness to follow me 

With it's crocodile leer 

For the hatchet of Josephine 

Of the swamps might appear 

Photos 

And I feel I wanna' crow 

Howlin' in my sleep 

Churning in my soul 

Josephine 

And I feel I wanna' crow 

howlin' in my sleep 

churning in my soul 

Josephine
