Jim Reeves - The 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 a-crawling and a-thumping And a-bawling and a-wadin' in the Everglades. Creepin', seepin' I hear a million things a-weepin' 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 world of things a-crawling And a-thumping and a-bawling And a-wadin' in the Everglades...
