Swamp Blues Goodbye

Misty mornings, heavy skies, whispering winds cry

Drowning sorrows in a river, softly flowing by

Woke up with a heavy heart, sleeping all night long

Troubles echo in my mind, singing me a sad song

Gray clouds hanging low, shadows in my mind

Beating down the blues, leaving nothing behind

Oh, the swamp’s got a hold on me, drowning in the grey

But I’ll find my way out, come tomorrow's break of day

Swamp blues, slip away, wash my soul anew

Playing my guitar in the morning dew

Swamp blues, deep and slow, healing what’s true

Let the river carry my sorrow through

Mud under my boots, spirit feeling worn

Lost in the mire, at the break of dawn

Rain falling softly, a lullaby of grey

Washing all my troubles, helping them drift away

Oh, the swamp whispers secrets, in the dark and deep

But I’ll shake these blues, find a way to sleep

Swamp blues, slip away, wash my soul anew

Playing my guitar in the morning dew

Swamp blues, deep and slow, healing what’s true

Let the river carry my sorrow through

Hold on to the night, till the morning light

Hope is a candle burning bright

Queen of the swamp, to her I pray

Guide me out of this blues someday

Yeah, swamp’s got a hold on me, but I won’t stay

Find my dawn, chase the blues away

Swamp blues, no more, I’ll find my way

Let the river take these blues away
