Lyrics

Red eyed momma keep cryin'
Blue eyed cat keeps a lyin'
Catfish keep his eye on the string
And that cotton mouth keep on windin'
Sing, sing, sing
Dark moon keeps hidin'
And 'gator, he keeps right on slidin'
And bull frog, he ain't mindin'
Oh, cotton mouth keep on windin'
Sing, sing, sing

Lightnin' bugs in bottles
They gimme all the light I need
And I'm seinin' bait for linin'
And that cotton mouth keeps on windin'
Sing, sing, sing

Oh, that big iron pot's a boilin'
And that red eyed momma keeps toilin'
And the crawdad meat's for dinin'
And oh, that cotton mouth keeps on windin', Lord
Sing, sing, sing
