BY JAY WELLER
BORN OF THE WATERS; WITHLACOOCHEE
RAISED ON COLD FLOORS; OF HEARTACHE AN’ SCANDAL
HOUSE UP ON WHEELS; REBUILT TRANNY
SHOTGUN AN’ SHELLS; HANGIN’ UP ON THE MANTLE
(IN THE) BREW OF THE SWAMP; DEMONS RUN FREE
MURDERS ‘N MARTYRS; BANDITS ‘N VANDALS
SHOT OF WHISKEY; AN’ SOME SWEET SOUTHERN TEA
THAT IS ENOUGH; TO JUST GET A HANDLE
{CHORUS}
SHOT OF WHISKEY; AN’ SOME SWEET SOUTHERN TEA
THAT IS ENOUGH; TO JUST GET A HANDLE
{BRIDGE}
RIVER RUNS SLOW; POURS INTO THE SEA
SUN STAGGERS OUT; DISAPPEARS LIKE A CANDLE
DARKNESS DESCENDS; OLD BANYAN TREE
STRETCHIN’ ITS ROOTS; REACHIN’ DOWN LIKE AN ANGEL
SHOT OF WHISKEY; SWEET SOUTHERN TEA
FROM THE COLD FLOORS; (OF) HEARTACHE AND SCANDAL
BORN OF THE WATERS; WITHLACOOCHEE
THAT IS ENOUGH; TO JUST GET A HANDLE
{CHORUS}
BORN OF THE WATERS; WITHLACOOCHEE
THAT IS ENOUGH; TO JUST GET A HANDLE
(AND/OR) (ARCHIPELO AFTER INSTRUMENTAL ENDS)
WHEN MY SUN FINALLY SETS; DISAPPEARS, INTO THE SEA
LAY ME DOWN, LAY ME DOWN; BY THE OLD BANYAN TREE
WHERE THE RIVER RUNS SLOW; POURS INTO THE SEA
THERE, BY THE BANKS; OF THE WITHLACOOCHEE
WHERE THE RIVER RUNS SLOW; POURS INTO THE SEA
LAY ME DOWN, LAY ME DOWN; BY THE OLD BANYAN TREE
A SHOT OF WHISKEY; AND SOME SWEET SOUTHERN TEA
THERE, BY THE BANKS; OF THE WITHLACOOCHEE
