Deathly Swamp Tide

(mmm-hmmm) (yeah-yeah) Down in the blackwater where the shadows rot

I sold my soul for a pocket full of nought

The law can't trace what the mud wants to keep

There's a cold brass box buried six feet deep

(damn it all to hell)

I hear them bullfrogs screaming out my name

This whole fucking county is a goddamn shame

The water's rising fast up to my chin

Dragged down by the deathly swamp tide (Lord help me) No place

left for a sinner to hide

Sinking in the bayou with my pride

Underneath the black water where the dead men ride

Copperheads sleeping in the rot-hollow tree

Watching this misery wash over me

There's a rope hanging loose from a bald cypress branch

They're gonna watch me drown in this ruined ranch (fuck it all

anyway) (ohhhhhh

yeah) Dragged down by the deathly swamp tide (Lord help me) No

place left for a sinner to hide

Sinking in the bayou with my pride

Underneath the black water where the dead men ride

Lost in the mud...

(down in the deep)

(down down down)
