I know a secret place, its down the river, just aways.

Its where the water swirls around in a hole in the ground  and the eels grass tickles your toes

So just hold on for a little bit longer, time seems to stay the same.

There's a ridge all around as  the legend unfolds , its about the water that flows into a river way down below

I hear the rolling rumbles of thunder, must be ten miles away.

Then the sky cracked wide open, here comes a steady rain.

So just hold on for a little bit longer, time seems to stay the same..

There's a ridge all around a hole in the ground, its where the water flows into the river way down below.

So we got this story about little awesome, at one time they called it a spring,

And when the bottom fell out, a swirl came about, vortex became her name.

Over two hundreds souls were lost that day, swallowed down into the hole.

There's a ridge all around as the legend unfolds- its about the water that flows into a river way down below,

Its where the eel grass swirls below, way on down below,

That's how the story unfolds.
