Crawlin' through this love swamp, baby, ain't no rosy bloom. Nothin' but a heartache tangled in the Spanish moss gloom. Got your photo, baby, reflected in the crescent moon's light, Cryin’ bayou tears for you, into the alligator night. You slipped away like a water snake, fast in the murky brine, Left your voodoo mark on me, a dark and twisted vine. A thousand fireflies glow, but they don't shine so bright Without your love, my babe, in this bayou night. I sing this crunk swamp blues, crickets play along in tune, Croakin' bout lost love, beneath the Cajun moon. Muddy water, baby, won't wash away this plight, Ain't no solace for me, in the bayou night. {end}
