Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Red-eyed momma keep cryin'
Blue-eyed cat keeps a-lyin'
Catfish keep his eye on the string
And that cotton mouth keep on windin'
[Verse 2]
Sing, sing, sing
[Verse 3]
Dark moon keeps hidin'
And 'gator, he keeps right on slidin'
And bullfrog, he ain't mindin'
Oh, cotton mouth keep on windin'
[Verse 4]
Sing, sing, sing
Oh, we gotta keep on movin' on, yeah
[Verse 5]
Lightnin' bugs in bottles
They gimme all the light I need
And I'm seein' bait for linin', yeah
And that cotton mouth keeps on windin'
[Verse 6]
Sing, sing, sing
[Verse 7]
Oh, that big iron pot's a boilin'
And that red-eyed momma keeps toilin'
And the crawdad meat's for dinin'
And oh, that cotton mouth keeps on windin', Lord, yeah
[Verse 8]
Sing, sing, sing
[Verse 9]
Oh, won't you get him now, now, now?
Oh, then run, kick it all home, yeah
Keep it up, baby, I don't take no time
Nah, nah, nah
Whoa
