Gators And Ghosts (Words & Music by Balfo)

Verse]
Down by the bayou where the shadows creep
Gators are hunting while you try to sleep
Ghosts are whispering secrets in your ear
Been this way for years ain't no end near

[Verse]
Mangrove roots tangled tight in my soul
I feel the pull but I've no place to go
Frogs are croaking out a mournful tune
Darkness falls and the fireflies swoon

[Chorus]
Oh gators and ghosts they know me well
In the midnight hour they cast their spell
Cypress trees sway the moonlight glows
In the deep of the swamp where nobody goes

[Verse]
Swamp water rising boots get stuck
Mosquitoes buzzing they don't give a muck
Lost in the mire but don't feel no fear
Swamp's got a way to draw you near

[Bridge]
Old man river he's got tales to share
Water moccasin's gaze it makes you stare
Creole spirits dance in the misty air
In a place where legends hang everywhere

[Chorus]
Oh gators and ghosts they know me well
In the midnight hour they cast their spell
Cypress trees sway the moonlight glows
In the deep of the swamp where nobody goes

[Verse]
Swamp water rising boots get stuck
Mosquitoes buzzing they don't give a muck
Lost in the mire but don't feel no fear
In the deep of the swamp where nobody goes
In the deep of the swamp where nobody goes
