Caroline Herring Standing in the Water Lyrics

CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: Am G D Am
In the land of the crazies
Gentlemen and ladies
I was born
I was born
But long gone, the fish fry
Long gone, the moon pie
Long gone
Long gone
CHORUS:
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Goodnight Cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me___
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G D C Am G D C Am
Grant captured Vicksburg
Sherman shot the hummingbird
Of the land
Of the land
But slaves pull the sack across
The weight of this albatross
In my hands
In my hands
CHORUS:
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Oh, goodnight Cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me_____
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G D Am G D Am G D Am G D Am
CHORUS:
Standing in the water
My dresses soiled and seen
Oh, goodnight Cottonlandia
Get your ghosts off of me_____
OUTRO: Am G D C Am
