Lyrics
- WERE YOU RAISED BY THE RIVER
- DOWN BY THE LOW LAND
- WHERE THE AIR IS DARK AND SINISTER
- IN THE NIGHT THERE’S NO SAFE PLACE TO STAND
- HID IN REEDS ARE EYES THAT PEEK, VOICES I CAN’T UNDERSTAND
- FLAMINGOS FLYING ENDLESSLY TO 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 THE SNAKE TAILS STEW
- FROM YOUR DADDY A 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 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 NOT HAVE BROUGHT YOU HERE
- SO FAR FROM THE BAYOU, DOWN IN THE LOW LOW LAND
- DON’T KNOW WHY YOU LEFT ME NOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND
- TAKE ME BACK TO THE RIVER
- DOWN IN THE SMOKEY GROUND
- WHERE SNAKES CRAWL 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 COULD FEEL YOU NEAR
- DAUGHTER OF THE EVERGLADES
- I KNOW I’LL FIND YOU HERE
- CHILD OF THE RIVER
- I CAN’T SEE FOR TEARS
- DAUGHTER OF THE EVERGLADES
- I COULD FEEL YOU NEAR
- DAUGHTER OF THE EVERGLADES
- I KNOW I’LL FIND YOU HERE
- CHILD OF THE RIVER
- I CAN’T SEE FOR TEARS
