Lyrics

[00:25.74] Oh the slough winds all serpentine
[00:31.87] Full of black delta peat
[00:38.03] Yellow bronze grapes of muscadine
[00:44.43] Growing wild and sweet
[01:03.38] On the shore Lady, there ya were
[01:09.51] In your robes of a queen
[01:15.78] And your lips sang a heron's song
[01:22.21] In my hour of need
[01:27.02] And I feel I wanna' crow
[01:34.10] Howlin' in my sleep
[01:40.42] Churning in my soul
[01:45.95] Josephine
[01:53.73] Oh the wasteland is plenty wide
[01:59.96] Far as I ever seen
[02:06.24] And the swamp, she's a full of moonlight
[02:12.54] Full of mangrove trees
[02:17.35] And I feel I wanna' crow
[02:24.49] Howlin' in my sleep
[02:30.83] Churning in my soul
[02:36.37] Josephine
[03:09.07] Pity darkness to follow me
[03:15.16] With it's crocodile leer
[03:21.39] For the hatchet of Josephine
[03:27.55] Of the swamps might appear
[03:32.35] And I feel I wanna' crow
[03:39.44] Howlin' in my sleep
[03:45.72] Churning in my soul
[03:51.75] Josephine
[03:58.15] And I feel I wanna' crow
[04:05.24] Howlin' in my sleep
[04:11.34] Churning in my soul
[04:17.05] Josephine
