P. J. Harvey - Down by The Water lyrics

by Stephen Stills & Joe Vitale

Down where the moss grow on the oak tree

There's a bayou woman she waits for me

She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo

C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so

C'est beaucoup yumbo

And she'll lead the way once you

know where you're goin'

She gotta soft sway, Does it without knowin'

She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo

C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so

C'est beaucoup yumbo

And I don't mind telling you that

everything feels better

When I'm with my woman make me

strong and for sure more together

There's a yellow swamp steady as you're goin'

`Round that next bend the cypress never knowin'

Listen to the music of the river flowin'

Like the deep Mississippi current she always knowin'

She treats me nice and she makes good gumbo

C'est ma femme out Je t'aime I love her so

C'est beaucoup yumbo
