Well I was shacked up down in the mobile With a girl from New York city She woke me up one night to tell me That we weren't alone. She said she saw the ghost of a woman staring at me I told her not to worry But in the morning when I woke up,She was gone So I headed on to Florida Where I tangled with some sailors And as I laid bloody on the wharf I cursed the ship they sailed on Wouldn't you know,twenty four hours later That ship sank into the ocean Disapearing like an unwanted memory Beneath the waves I guess it's 'cause, still [bad word] Run deep in me Cause I got this crazy way... Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. And I was woke up just before dawn By an old man crying in the rain. He was [bad word] and he was lonely And as he passed by he sang a hymn. And as I lay there listening, Well I almost joined him in that song... But instead I just held my peace, And waited 'till that old man moved along. Then later on that day about quarter mile out of town, I found his body hanging in grove of pines, swaying in the wind. And as he swang that rope sang another hymn To Jesus, And this time though I don't know why, I somehow felt inclined to sing along. I guess it's cause, still [bad word] Run deep in me ' Cause I got this crazy way... crazy way I'm swimming in still waters. Yes and there are projects for the dead And there are projects for the living... Thought I must confess sometimes I get confused by that distinction... And I just throw myself into the arms Of that which would betray me. I guess to see how far Providence Will stoop down just to save me. And it's all because, still [bad word] Run deep in me... 'Cause I've got this crazy way... Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
