Come to the deep where your sleep is without a dream
Where the rain flies through the marshes
And the turtle sun their shells
Where the water rat goes swimmin'
Is where my swamp girl dwells
Where the sunlight never wanders
And the moonlight never falls
Where the water's black
With the devil's track
That's where my swamp girl calls
What did she say, the girl with the golden hair
To make me follow her down there?
And how did she look when she took me by the hand?
Tonight her hair will float on the water
And the gold will no longer shine
It will spread like a veil on the water
While she makes a mysterious sign
I have seen that sign
Before
Eyes ain't like a watermelon
Eyes ain't like a ball
Eyes are like the diamond back
Stretching in the dark
What did she say, the girl with the golden hair
Down there where her work is done?
Would you embrace the night and turn your back on the sun?
She'll say it's better there in the water
Where it's cool and calm and serene
She will call you to come to the water
To a world made of emerald green
I have heard that call
Before
I hear it when I'm weary
I hear it when I yield
I hear it when the joys of life start to lose their thrill
My swamp girl lives inside of me
She leaves me pale and worn
She tears me and tears me
Like paper dolls are torn
Come to the deep where your sleep is without a dream
