_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
She was born early, a real child, folks didn't think she'd make the night.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Em] _
She made her years, started going blind, but her mom just saved her. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
She was headed for [Em] an early grave, took her to her grandma's place.
_ _ _ There she is, _ nothing left for them to try, left her there to live or die. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] Her grandma killed that innocent.
Couldn't get to it without her little _ _ _ _ _ _ sapper shack up on the stilts.
Strong little house her grandma built.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She got stronger, found her way, kept her grandma around the [Em] place. _ _ _ _
_ _ Her eyes had turned a pellish green, threw her voice and make her a tiger's scream. _ _
_ _ _ _ Once _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
a month she'd take the boat, go [Em] through the swamp to a little dirt road.
_ _ _ _ _ She'd walk in the town for their supplies, keep her hat down low on her. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ She felt gone easy in the town, men would look her up and [Em] down. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ Never thought [Em] about it, never had a man never thought about it. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Zoom in road out of town and [Em] a road pick up just about sundown.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
They were drinking a lot of shine, bad intentions on them.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
She came walking down the road, [Em] moon was up and hanging low.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She was humming a little song, but she knew something terrible was going wrong.
In _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ her boat, a cottonmouth snake stuck to his thumb. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ A pather came from the trees, took the other one at the knee.
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ Drove the boat back into the boat, _
_ _ [Em] [E] paddled back into the swamp. _
_ _ Halfway back to the [Em] shack, _ _ [E] she dropped them off for a gator snack.
[Em] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Crunchy [Em] chomp.
