Mighty Everglades Lyrics - Jim Reeves

South from Okeechobee and reachin' to the keys lays the mighty wonder nature made 

A hundred miles of jade the mighty everglades 

It's beautiful at sunset but oh there's something else that makes bravest heart afraid 

A word of things acrawling and athumping and abawling and awadin' in the Everglades 

Creeping seeping I heard a million things a weeping 

As I gazed into the weirdness of the mighty everglades 

Over and over I called oh please come back my lover 

But my love is dead or wand'ring in the fearful everglades 

Voices calling shadows falling spirits of those who ventured in and stayed 

Hear it fear it never never go too near it 

For there's myst'ry in the hist'ry of the mighty everglades 

Seeping crawling spirits calling sliddin' hidin' my love in the everglades 

Over and over I call but now she's gone for ever 

And my heart is wand'ring with her through the mighty everglades 

A word of things acrawling and athumping and abawling and awadin' in the Everglades
