Jim Reeves - Mighty Everglades lyrics

South from Okeechobee and reachin' to the keys lays the mighty wonder nature made A hundred miles of jade the mighty everglades It's beautiful at sunset but oh there's something else that makes bravest heart afraid A word of things acrawling and athumping and abawling and awadin' in the Everglades Creeping seeping I heard a million things a weeping As I gazed into the weirdness of the mighty everglades Over and over I called oh please come back my lover But my love is dead or wand'ring in the fearful everglades Voices calling shadows falling spirits of those who ventured in and stayed Hear it fear it never never go too near it For there's myst'ry in the hist'ry of the mighty everglades Seeping crawling spirits calling sliddin' hidin' my love in the everglades Over and over I call but now she's gone for ever And my heart is wand'ring with her through the mighty everglades A word of things acrawling and athumping and abawling and awadin' in the Everglades
