(James Seals, Dash Crofts)

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
