Swamp Hex Blues

Down in the thicket where the black water flows

There's a secret that the Spanish moss knows (mmmmm-hmm)

Footsteps sink in the heavy red clay

And the heat eats the light of day

Lord, the bayou's calling out my name (yeah) Burning hot like an

unholy flame

Damn this weight dragging down my soul

In the deep muddy water I go

Old man river doesn't care if you drown

He just drags you to the bottom-most ground

(wash it clean)

Let the current wash the sins from my skin

Where the dark water ends I begin

Lord, the bayou's calling out my name

(calling me) Burning hot like an unholy flame

Damn this weight dragging down my soul

In the deep muddy water I go

Sink deep (down, down)

No light left to guide the way

Just the

dark mud

And the wet decay

Going down... (deep down)

Into the black mud
