Daughter of the Everglades Rory Gallagher

Were you were 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

In the reeds there 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 to look for you
