Rory Gallagher - Daughter Of The Everglades - Remastered 2017

Were you 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 Hid in the reeds 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 Daughter of the Everglades If you wanted to be here Child of the river 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 back to look for you Daughter of the Everglades Why did you bring me here? Daughter of the Everglades My love has turned to fear Child of the river 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 have not 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 understand Take me back to the river Down in the smoky ground When snakes crawl, you don't cheat By the river you live for now In the swell of the river The river boat sails by so proud I should have gone there with you But now they tell me you have drowned Daughter of the Everglades I can feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I know I'll find you hear Child of the river I can't see for tears Daughter of the Everglades I want to feel you near Daughter of the Everglades I must find you here Child of the river I can't see for my tears
