Red eyed mama 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 bullfrog he ain’t mindin',
oh, cotton mouth keep on windin'

Sing. Sing. Sing.

Lightnin' bugs in bottles,
they gimme me all the light that 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 meats for dinin',
oh, and that cotton mouth keeps on windin', Lord.

Sing. Sing. Sing
