Nightsky looks so very clear Stars like diamonds all aglow Kakadu Queen, she sounds quite near Bullfrogs croakin' just below Yellow eyes see through the night 'Skeeters buzzin' all around Mean ol' barra take my bite Careful not to make a sound Ain't no way I'm ever gonna roam From my happy river home Mudslide blues Mudslide blues Old croc's waitin' for an easy meal Tie my boat up to the tree Me and him we got a deal No bother him, no bother me Underneath a fat ol' moon Silent critters on the prowl This river plays a quiet tune I hear the song of old friend owl Ain't no way I'm ever gonna roam From my happy river home Mudslide blues Mudslide blues
