If It Ain't Me Babe

Saw the figure, it looked like me
When we were down in the Cypress knees
My crooked face with the water low
And I disappeared when the water rose

Cotton blooms left at your house
Bit me like a cottonmouth
The poison ran right through my veins
And I can't breathe when I hear your name

If it ain't me babe
It ain't me
Right there by your side
Like I used to be
If it ain't me babe
If it ain't me
I'll waste all my time
Hopin' it could be

Sitting high on a river wall
Calling back to a killdeer call
Getting high on a river wall
Calling back to a killdeer call

If it ain't me babe
It ain't me
Right there by your side
Like I used to be
If it ain't me babe
It ain't me
I'll waste all my time
Hopin' it could be

Take time in Yellowood
Call your ma like you know you should
Dance across a kitchen floor
Don't close that cabinet door
Sing Neil 'til the song gets old
Secret lake is yours you know
I'll see you in a harvest moon
Think of you singin' Harvest Moon
These words don't mean a thing
Amber stone on a golden ring
I'll see you in a harvest moon
Think of you singin' Harvest Moon

If these words don't mean a thing
Amber stone on a golden ring
I'll see you in a harvest moon
I'll think of you singin' Harvest Moon

If it ain't me
Don't waste all your time
Hopin' it could be
