Collins Bridge Lyrics

Underneath Collins Bridge

The Ohoopee River flows

Made of mud and silt

Colored black and gold

I saw you with your sister

Naked on the edge

Blending in with the river

Like a moccasin

Like a moccasin

In the wild this is your river

Her body snakes through the land

She has been here forever

Holding both life and death

You'll grow up with the River

Wrapped around your hungry waist

Follow kingfisher

He'll show you the way

Wild boar in palmetto

A mother and her young

Coyote howl echoes

Announcing the hunt

In the wild this is your river

Her body snakes through the land

She has been here forever

Holding both life and death

In the spring the waters rise

To take your home to take your life

You give back the debt you owe

So the river remains your home

Hold on tight to your sister

She hasn't learned to swim

If you leave her by the river

You won't see her again

If you leave her by the river

You won't see her again

In the wild this is your river

Her body snakes through the land

She has been here forever

Holding both life and death

In the wild this is your river

Her body snakes through the land

She has been here forever

Holding both life and death
