Swamp ate up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Swamp ate up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Swamp ate up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Swamp ate up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Don't go pokin' in the Okefenokee unless you love your maker
There ain't no jokin' in the Okefenokee,
With there's more creatures by the acre
Oh, the Okefenokee is the king of the
Swamps and you can't take it for granted
When the sun goes down it's creature town and the gators are gigantic
Now, City Slick had just robbed a
Bank to make a dope deal down in Florida
Along with him was sweet little Kim, he'd kidnapped as a hostage
She was young and bright and
Innocent and Slick's mind was full of garbage
He was only thinkin' of himself, wouldn't think of nobody else
Let's see how the story goes in the Okefenokee swamp
Oh, 'cause swamp at up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Swamp at up the bad man and set the sweet child free
Now, the State Patrol was in hot
Pursuit of Slick through Georgia backroads
They found his car plum out of gas
Where the swamp had claimed the railroad
Slick forced little Kim to a place not fit for crooks or children
Oh, the search party had to wait 'til
Day, there was nothing left to do but pray
'Cause when you're lost, there ain't no way in the Okefenokee
Oh, swamp ate up the bad man and set the sweet child free, yeah
Oh, just before noon, around full moon, all hope had been abandoned
A helicopter with a filming crew zoomed in on an eagle's landing
What they saw was beyond belief in that shaded, mossy cypress
Little Kim was fat and fine, the baby eagles they were learning to fly
What had happened was beyond the eye of folks that don't know nothing
Let me repeat that
Oh, just before noon, around full moon, all hope had been abandoned
A helicopter with a filming crew zoomed in on eagle's landing
Oh, what they saw was beyond belief in that shaded, mossy cypress
Little Kim, she was fat and fine,
And the baby eagles was learning to fly
What had happened was beyond the eye of folks that don't know nothing
You gotta have a little faith
You can never give up searchin' for that lovely child
You can never give up
But here's what happened
Well, a monster gator had swallowed
Ol' Slick before he turned a corner
Kim rode on that gator's back to the big tree by the water
Oh, big bear climbed honey tree with that tiny human daughter
And placed that baby in the eagle's
Nest, all the creatures did their best
Thank the Lord that the child was blessed in the Okefenokee
We're gonna repeat that one again
Well, a monster gator had swallowed
Ol' Slick before he turned a corner
Kim rode on that gator's back to the big tree by the water
Oh, big bear climbed honey tree with that tiny human daughter
And placed the baby in the eagle's
Nest, all the creatures did their best
Thank the Lord that the child was blessed in the Okeeeeeeee
In the Okefenokee swamp
