Snakes and Waterfalls

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Porch lights on distant ridges dark

Rock lined valley singing with every bark

Flat water bottom to wind blown timber tall

It's my land of snakes and waterfalls

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

16 score and seven years my blood's called home

All the crimson clay and the old roads that I roam

This place might be cursed after all

But it's my land of snakes and waterfalls

And I know that when a distant shore's before me

Oh, how my poor heart aches for every hollow that I forsake

I've been trying to run since I could crawl

It's my land of snakes and waterfalls

Mmm, and I know that when a distant shore's before me

Oh, how my poor heart aches for every hollow that I forsake

Blue cave water and canebrakes forever call

Me on home to snakes and waterfalls

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
