歌詞
Way down where the cattails grow
Way way down where nobody dares to go
Spanish moss cypress logs in Manchac
Looks like her long hair she’s all dressed in black
A tall tale, a mystery, a myth, never been proof of exactly what she is
But I like to think she’s more than all that
She’s a silent raging storm and she takes what she wants back
Where the water flows and the darkness grows right into the horizon
Where your secrets hide in the muddy tide and nobody can find them
Where you wrestle down and get swallowed up if you try to take her on
Cause the swamp
Yeah, she’s a mean one
I heard the whispers when I was growing up
Thought I’d see for myself, test out my luck
So I went on down to where the crawdads sing
And that was the last time they heard from me
Where the water flows and the darkness grows right into the horizon
Where your secrets hide in the muddy tide and nobody can find them
Where you wrestle down and get swallowed up if you try to take her on
Cause the swamp
Yeah, she’s a mean one
Now rumor has it when the moon is hanging high
You’ll hear more than the swamp sparrow fly
