Who Pulled The Nite Down

Who pulled the nite down on me
Who pulled the nite down so I cannot see
Who pulled the nite down on me
Who pulled the nite down so I cannot see
The moon she come down through the trees
Pick out footprints of things me don’t see
Boat whisper on paddle push down
Slithering by — a snake but no sound
Repeat Chorus
Everglade hold me in its night
Alligator slip into sight
Horny toad calling loud and clear
Suddenly stop is all me hear
Repeat Chorus
Hootowl eyes blink without a face
Silence shouts from every place
A little scared but me push on
With just one more slug from my jug of rum
