There’s something in the water and I ain’t going in ,It don’t matter what you pay me you won’t see me swim. Florida Keys featuring Wily Bo Walker for Swamp Music Players. A cover song from an island band that was overlooked and we have been craving to cover since our inception as a collective! We waited for the perfect man to front the song and it was Wily Bo Walker an esteemed gentleman of the United Kingdoms swamp-music scene. The Florida Keys is about what lurks just under the surface , what prowls just beyond the corner of your eye , it’s the damp sopping obsessions rotting out the foundations of your sanity. Journey with us to the Florida Keys they don’t mention in the travel brochure!
There’s someone fishin’ at 2:00 AM
The fog is rolling in like it don’t give a damn
There’s weddings and cruise ships
And things on the beach
Scratch my head, I get no relief
There’s something in the water
And I ain’t going in
It don’t matter what you pay me
You won’t see me swim
I’ve heard the tales they tell the youth
Now listen to me, son
It’s head is like a woman
And it’s tail is 10 feet long
Many lost souls have passed me by
Said “Buddy, we’ll see you there
If not by the grace of God, then with the Devil’s care”
They say this stuff will kill you but the first time it is free
Stealing cigarettes from a dead man
In the Florida Keys
That log looks like a body
As it’s floating by the cove
I took a step and lost my shoe
My foot is getting cold
Every journey it begins
A mile down the road
I think of things and don’t look back
Oh, baby, c’mon let’s go
Many lost souls have passed me by
Sayin’ “Buddy, we’ll see you there
If not by the grace of God, then with the Devil’s care”
They say this stuff will kill you but the first time it is free
Stealing cigarettes from a dead man
In the Florida Keys
Stealing cigarettes from a dead man
In the Florida Keys
