Henderson Swamp

If I could just keep my head up

Like the trees down on henderson swamp

And make another day that'll be ok

And I won't just die another chump

Well my head's been wed with envy

My feet's been tied with sin

The sweet smell of death is upon my breath

For every stroke I swim

My history forgets me

Notify my next of kin

'Cause I fear it true that you'd head hey too with new

All the trouble I was in

If I could just keep my head up

Like the trees down on henderson swamp

And make another day that'll be ok

And I won't just die another chump

Well my pennies have all left my pockets

Down by where my guitar sleeps

Along with the ladies that I've left behind

Who now line the old back streets

Ahn

Well my cap they call confusion

And the water come a rushing on in

I look to heaven and ask in fear

Please lord tell me how did I get here

He said young man you had to be angry

Oh young man you had to be free

Yup sounds correct and I hope that you're happy

Sinking on deep into the sea

If I could just keep my head up

If I could just keep my head up

Oh if I could just keep my head up

Like the trees down on henderson swamp
