Red eyed mama keeps cryin`. Blue-eyed cat keeps a-lyin`.
Catfish keeps his eye on the string. Cotton mouth keeps on windin`.
Sing, sing, sing.
Dark moon keep on hidin`.`Gator he keeps on slidin`.
Bullfrog he ain`t mindin`. Cotton mouth keeps on windin`.
Sing, sing, sing.
Lightnin` bugs in bottles, give me all the light I need.
Seein` bait for linin`. Cotton mouth keep on windin`.
Sing, sing, sing.
Big iron pot`s a-boilin`. Red-eyed mama`s a-toilin`.
Crawdad meat`s for dinin`. Cotton mouth keep on windin.`
Sing, sing, sing.
