Standing In the Water
In the land of the crazies
Gentlemen and ladies
I was born
I was born
But long gone the fish fry
Long gone the moon pie
Long gone
Long gone
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Goodnight cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me
Grant captured Vicksburg
Sherman shot the hummingbird of the land
But slaves pull the sack across
The weight of this albatross in my hands
In my hands
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Goodnight cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me
Gentlemen and ladies
I was born
I was born
But long gone the fish fry
Long gone the moon pie
Long gone
Long gone
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Goodnight cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me
Grant captured Vicksburg
Sherman shot the hummingbird of the land
But slaves pull the sack across
The weight of this albatross in my hands
In my hands
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Goodnight cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me
