Were you raised by the river 
Down by the low, low land 
Where the air is dark and sinister?
In the nigh there's no safe place to stand 
Hid in the reeds are eyes that peek, voices I can't understand 
Flamingos flying endlessly 
To the silent sky 

Daughter of the Everglades 
You never made it clear 
Daughter of the Everglades 
If you want to be here 
Child of the river 
I never saw your tears 

Well, you looked like your mama 
Before you walked, you swam 
Learned to makes snake tails stew 
From your daddy, a crazy talkin' fisherman 
In this place there is no law; the river makes all the rules 
What they are I found out
When I came back to look for you 

Daughter of the Everglades 
Why did you bring me here? 
Daughter of the Everglades 
My love has turned to fear 
Child of the river 
Let me feel you near 

Well, you laughed in them
But I knew after a year 
That you'd cry in the city 
I should have not brought you here 
So far from the Bayou, down in the low, low land 
Don't know why you left me 
But now I understand 

Take me back to the river 
Down in the smoky ground 
Where snakes crawl you don't cheat 
By the river you live by now 
In the swell of the river, the river sails so proud 
I should have gone there with you 
But now they tell me you have drowned

Daughter of the Everglades 
I can feel you near 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I know I'll find you hear 
Child of the river 
I can't see for tears 

Daughter of the Everglades 
I want to feel you near 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I must find you here 
Child of the river 
I can't see for my tears
