Inspired by the Tv Show,
http://www.history.com/shows/swamp-peopleOkay, I toyed with harmony, but am torn about that. This version is void of any. To get the musical feel I wanted, I used RT's at half-tempo. I hope it worked. Thanks for listening.

SWAMP PEOPLE
Copyright 2014 by Scott H. Olson
Verse
We were here long before man
We done our part in nature's plan
Way on down in the cypress swamp
Spent our days doin' like we want
Climb
But lately we been thinkin'
Somethin' just ain't right
With the city slickers and the camera crews
Every day and night
Chorus
Swamp people what'd we ever do to you
Swamp people, can't we get along in the same bayou
You took my kin, you're huntin' me
I don't ever wanna' go on tv
Swamp people, what'd we ever do to you
Verse
Was a time we ain't forgot
We were in an awful spot
You brought us back from the brink
Weren't for you I might be extinct
Climb
But lately we been thinkin'
We cannot survive
The cable tv audience
That likes to watch us die
Repeat Chorus
