Swamp Root

歌詞

We went huntin' down here tonight Just me and my gal without a light Man the moon was so pretty and the air was so free that I just couldn't help to make whoopee and I felt big and wanted to love Yeah, man... Had to neck a little too Well I was a-walkin' ahead and heared a snap and there she lay in six feet of grass She yelled and said "I'm suin'" and started twistin' and screwin' and scramblin' about She fell down the hill and she started to roll and she couldn't stop to save her soul Her eyes were bloodshot and her nose was red and she had a knot on her head I mean it was a big knot too it wasn't a little pimple Same song second verse, third spell, rave on, sure is pretty... Twistin' around and screwin' about Well we started on and we came to a bog and to get across we had to walk a log We's halfway over and one foot slipped And into the mud clean up to her hips she fell Well I got her out and dried her off and she started to sneeze and cough, catchin' cold, felt miserable She looked at me like a cat would at the mice, her teeth was rattlin' like a pair of dice throwin' seven... and eleven Well we started on My dogs had treed in a hollow log And down she squatted like a big bull frog The a polecat sprayed her with a mess of fog Boy, boy, what a odor Had to put her in a barrel, and bury her clothes And take her home that way, too Aww shucks, whoopee'd on up When the wine goes in, the truth comes out, just two more shots and I'll tell it all Now I believe what I say from the sound of folk that has bleeded while under the influence of swamp root Cotton hose and Brogan shoes, she had powder on her nose... lipstick... rose Her dress was made from flour sacks - the name of the flour was stamped on the back... all kinds of brands But it was cheap stuff, and holey too Well we started home at the hour of twelve, what happened to this old gal was hard to tell Stockings down and the shoes unlaced She said "I come from a huntin' race"
