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 world 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 mystery in the history 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
