Track 2 (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Moonlight drippin’ on the cypress knees,

Whiskey river runnin’ wild and free.

Boots sunk deep in the muddy ground,

Hear that low dog howl, it’s the midnight sound.

Chorus

Keep it right, keep it true,

Swamp fire burnin’ in the black bayou.

Rust on the strings, smoke in the night,

Playin’ that blues till the dawn feels right.

Verse 2

Ghost train rattles through the delta rain,

Steel guitar cryin’ out its pain.

Shadows dance where the bullfrogs sing,

Got the devil’s rhythm on a broken string.

Bridge

Heat so heavy, can’t shake it loose,

Soul baptized in the swampy juice.

River’s got secrets, I ain’t gonna fight,

I just keep it steady, keep it right.
