The original idea was inspired by our friend and fellow Muscle Shoals picker Max Russell

the creek was rising and the river was deep
was baptised at seventeen
gators were snapping at my damn feet
nibbled on me down to my knees
the band was playing people set me free
Ronnie Van Zant taught me what I need
I'm standing in the water with a woman by me
long legged woman come dance with me
that long dark hair flowing over me
I'm gonna drown give me what I need
she aint had a bath in nearly three weeks
she smells real good laying under me
pretty as a picture that I never have seen
and she was living in Blackland

she's a ghost of a woman by a cypress tree
that cold black water it set me free
girl's got back like you've never seen
black leather lace down to her knees
hung her gold wedding ring around my neck
she feels real good laying under me
put a spell on me I passed her test
when I met her I never looked back
I was riding on the memory of a brown eyed queen
dark headed women get the best of me
standing in the water gators snapping at me
she chewed on me down to my knees
I punched that ticket now I'll take that ride
and she was living in Blackland
