Daughter Of The Everglades Lyrics

Were you raise by the river

From your daddy, a crazy talkin' fisherman

My love has turned to fear
Child of the river
Let me feel you near

Child of the river
I can't see for tears

Daughter of the Everglades
I want ot feel you near
Daughter of the Everglades
I must find you here
Child of the river
