lyrics

[Verse]

See the free-spirit girl, she dance in the mud in the moonlight
Where the coyote moan echos out in the cool of the midnight
Down in the swamp with the pulse of the sting of a bug bite
Somebody lies in the reeds but he's out of her sight
Somebody lies in the reeds but he's out of her sight
(Alright)

[Verse]

She take off all of her clothes, for the great horned owl and the lord to see
Pick out a star in the sky to become her reality
Suck on a mayhaw, chew on the bark of a Tupelo tree
Somebody cries in the reeds but she don't hear him plea
Somebody cries in the reeds but she don't hear him plea
(oohwee)

[Verse]

Now the low water's warm flowing through the Atchafalaya
The cove of the outcasts, the den of the social pariah
She summon the blood at the riverbed of the messiah
Somebody dies in the reeds as she sing Kumbaya
Somebody dies in the reeds as she sing Kumbaya
(Good God)

[Outro]

And come alive in the reeds in the great Kumbaya
Come alive in the reeds in the great Kumbaya
Come alive in the reeds in the great Kumbaya
Come alive in the reeds in the great Kumbaya
