Lyrics:
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Cattail Down, the morning rail yard whistle blows
Cattail Down, our boxcar bound for no-one-knows
after every hidden seed
out from its covering has
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Light enough to be there, heavy enough to bend
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
And on a ruined earth beheld their doom
Guardian of the deeps, of reeds, where cattails sway
From the windswept coast to the prairies green
Guardian of the deeps,
sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
There folks like us
Who may lie down in darkness
But we don't
me
Under a velvet sky
Cattails dancing in the light
We were born to live a long and happy life
A happy life
Yeah, folks like us
We may lie down
plays
Going back home to the Great Lakes
Where the cattail sways
With the lonesome loon
Riding that train in late June
With the windows wide by my
can feel her spirit on the river, she said
I can see her beautiful smile
Whispering like cattails, You're not done, girl
We've miles and miles to go
Lone cattail on a river bed
Doin’ your dance and bobbin’ your head
I yearn for lands beyond your grail
Long stalks glazed with moss,
Lullabies
I remember her standing in the tall grass and cattails
Away from the windows at the end of the day
Watch the men from the landing
With tall hats
I remember her standing in the tall grass and cattails
Away from the windows at the end of the day
Watch the men from the landing
With tall hats
Chicago wind
Some Kansas wheat fields I'd love to see again
But the fireflies play where the cattails grow
And them southern girls, they talk nice and slow
hold you for long
then you say ride
this is all mine
but hasn't your donor card expired
from blue ridge to cattail
on the prairie
from fly-over country
to that Hummingbird
And he looked at me and never said a word
Just went out back to see
And there it was in all it's mess
With the cattails
back someday.
Cattails growin' down by the river
So crystal clear in my mind
And there's a song that I still remember
Sung by the wind in the pines
through the cat-tails
Give me those swamp river days again
Sat down in the shade of a cotton wood tree
Pretty soon the swamp critters' callin' me
Blueridge to Cattail
On the prairie
From fly over country back to Mississippi
I said, "go , man you go"
But you raise me twenty
I'm raising you five-
hundred
Early in the morning where there used to be a stream
Is a tiny business lake
Don't let the cattails fool you
Down in the bottom where nothing is
the tall grass
Stinging my cattails oh!
Looking for brother
It feels like winter
But it's the heart of the summer
We can't go swimming
As long as we
mud boat up behind the lilly pads and the cattails, yeah yeah
Up behind the bar where there wasn't, where there wasn't no trail
Junior was an outlaw
He
ran off with the kitty,
crawled the Mississippi and I got away clean
Underneath the levee in a cattail thicket,
down in the shadows of a shady grove,
