Tony Joe White - "Swamp Rap" [Live from Austin, TX] chords
Start Jamming...
[C]
[B] This ain't got no singing to it, y'all.
Just a little bit of [Em] talking.
It's called, uh, Little Swamp Raptor.
[E]
Now, I don't move too fast, and my talk is kinda slow.
I'm from the swamp, and I like to stomp to cotton, I do.
Now, I work hard all week, when it comes Saturday night.
I go downtown and cruise around in my Ford Field Drive, that's right. With mudflaps.
Sometimes I like to slow dance, and hold my woman tight.
Cause you can't get nothing done if you stand apart and sling your arms.
Now, I see a lot of people, and they think they're worse, eh?
But you know the times, they aren't changing when soul brothers wear cowboy hats.
That's right.
Yeah, but there's still a lot of cowboys who don't mind biting the dust.
They ride Bramble Bulls and Bucking Bronx, and they don't mow no furs.
But now they're everywhere you look.
Though it may sound strange, they ride Coop Deville down to Cutter Mills, and overnight they can ride the ranch.
I heard that.

I was down in the swamps one night, singing to the moon.
When an alligator called up to me and said, hey, I like it too.
He started to twist and shake his tail, thought he was having a fit.
And my fingers were starting to hurt like hell, but he wouldn't let me quit, he said, [Em] keep on.
Yeah, been a long time since I've worn the danish, would you please give me some more?
One, [Abm] two, three, four, you can't alligator till you get [Gb] down on the floor, that's right.
That's right.
Yeah, I met a long-legged woman, and I loved the way she moved.
She would hop the trot like ZZ Top, turn me everywhere but loose.
Texas woman.
[G] [E]
[A] [Em]
[Abm] [B] Thank y'all.
[Em] [N] I'd like y'all to meet Steve Spear on bass, [Em] y'all.
