Jim Reeves Mighty Everglades Lyrics

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
