about

there's no place like home

lyrics

There’s a Sandhill Crane in the cattails
A Swallowtail Kite on the wing
A Yellow Throat Warbler with his heart in a song
Must be the first of Spring

Down home on the Withlacoochee
The cypress trees reach to the sky
Home on the Withlacoochee
That tea-stained river paradise is mine

Old Green Swamp had an only daughter
She left home, headed north through hills of sand
Capturing my heart the first time that I saw her
As she rippled, sparkled, danced across the land

Down home on the Withlacoochee
In the shade of a grandad live oak tree
Spend my time danglin’ crawfish from a line
Makin’ friends with that river bottom breeze

On a quiet bend of sand with the damsel flies and darners
I watch the cooters slidin’ off of their logs
Spooked by some bull gator with his eyes as dark as sin
That take the measure of a man so don’t fall in

Home on the Withlacoochee
Sit yourself down beside a cypress knee
Home on the Withlacoochee
Toss in your line and spend some time with me

As the evening sun goes down, and the river mist is rising
Chorus frogs and Barred Owls start their songs
And I’ll fry up some catfish, we’ll eat Cracker haute cuisine
Then its hammock time and sweet gum maple dreams

Home on the Withlacoochee
Got a moonbeam ticklin’ my eye
Home on the Withlacoochee
That tea-stained river paradise is mine
