(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)

From the albums DOWN HOME (1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974)
Covered by the Doobie Brothers on 1972's Toulouse Streetlp

Red eyed mama keeps cryin' Blue-eyed cat keeps a-lyin'
Catfish keeps his eye on the string Cotton mouth keeps on windin'
Sing, sing, sing
Dark moon keep on hidin''Gator he keeps on slidin'
Bullfrog he ain't mindin' Cotton mouth keeps on windin'
Sing, sing, sing
Lightnin' bugs in bottles, give me all the light I need
Seein' bait for linin' Cotton mouth keep on windin'
Sing, sing, sing
Big iron pot's a-boilin' Red-eyed mama's a-toilin'
Crawdad meat's for dinin' Cotton mouth keep on windin'
Sing, sing, sing
