Swamp Gal

Swamp Gal - Tommy Bell

When the moon shines through

The cottonwood trees

I can hear my swamp gal callin' me

We meet down by the big cypress trees

That's where I get those shakin' knees

We dance to the rhythm of the swayin' trees

Rock and roll style with a howlin' breeze

You know she hops like a frog

Wiggles like snake

You oughta see that gal on a date

I said swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Wait for me

I'm coming can't you see

Well let's boogie now

Her hair was dipped

In the black river stream

Her eyes got the color

Of a midnight beam

Cheeks like a swamp rose

Found in the thicket

Lips sweet as a berry

When I first pick it

Swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Wait for me

I'm coming can't you see

I hated to leave

That wonderful land

Within my heart

My soul took a stand

I'm gonna go back to the place

Where I met her

Bet your life I'm a-gonna get her

I said swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Swamp gal

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Wait for me

I'm coming can't you see

Wait for me

I'm coming can't you see

Wait for me

I'm coming can't you see
