Swamp Girl - Charles Manson

When the crane flies through the marsh

And the toes are on the shells

Where the water rat goes swimmin'

That’s where my swamp girl dwells

Where the sunlight never wanders

And the moon no longer falls

With the water, black as the devils breath

That’s where my swamp girl calls

What did she say there?

With her golden hair

To make me follow her?

In the plot of the devil

How she did kiss me?

When she took me by the hand?

Why her hair floats on the water

And the gold no longer shines

Spread like a fan on the water

While she wasted this thing inside

I have heard that sign

And seen the sparkle in your eye

Why?

Her eyes are like the whipporwills

And her eyes are like the dawn

Her eyes are like an hourglass

Stretched out in the dark

I have seen her face in… the water…
