Key: C
Introduction:
Dm G
Were you raised by the river,
Am
Down in the low, low land,
Dm G
Where the air is dark and sinister,
Am
In the night there's no safe place to stand.
Dm G
In the reeds there are eyes that peek,
Am
Voices I can't understand,
Dm G
Flamingos flying endlessly,
Am
Into the silent sky.
C Em
Daughter of the everglades,
Am
You never made it clear,
C Em
Child of the river,
Am
If you want me to be here,
C Em
Daughter of the everglades,
Am
I never saw your tears.
Well you looked like your mama,
