Daughter Of The Everglades Lyrics - Blueprint - Rory Gallagher

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
