Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: The Mighty Everglades
Lyrics for Album: He'll Have to Go/Tall Tales and Short Tempers [BMG [2004]



(South from Okeechobee and reachin' to the keys)

(Lays the mighty wonder nature made)

(A hundred miles of jade)

(The mighty everglades.)



It's beautiful at sunset but oh,

There's something else that makes bravest heart afraid

A word of things a-crawling and a-thumping

And a-bawling and a-wadin' in the Everglades.



Creepin', seepin'

I hear a million things a-weepin'

As I gazed into the weirdness

Of the mighty everglades.



Over and over

I called, Oh, please come back my lover

But my love is dead or wand'ring

In the fearful everglades.



Voices calling, shadows falling,

Spirits of those who ventured in and stayed

Hear it, fear it, never, never go too near it

For there's myst'ry in the hist'ry of the mighty everglades.



Seeping, crawling, spirits calling

Sliddin', hidin', my love in the everglades

Over and over I call but now she's gone for ever

And my heart is wand'ring with her through the mighty everglades.



A world of things a-crawling

And a-thumping and a-bawling

And a-wadin' in the Everglades...
