Atchafalaya Lyrics – Orville Peck

[Verse 1: Orville Peck]
We meet again
Bad luck, my old friend
That old familiar tune begins to play
Back to what I know
Pack my things and go
I can hear the canyon call my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t swing low
The muddy waters sing their song
Let me go
Back among the willows where I belong

[Chorus: Orville Peck]
So goodbye Appaloosa, ride away
I’m headed North for New York State
Appalachia, help me on my way
Bad luck can’t follow me to stay
If I leave Atchafalaya by today

[Verse 2: Noah Cyrus]
Hear your name, a whisper in the wind
Been so long since I have seen you, friend
The coyote and sparrow sing a tune
Take this mountain to the river and the river back to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t swing low (Don’t swing low)
The muddy waters sing their song
(The muddy waters sing their song)
Let me go (Let me go)
Back among the willows where I belong

[Chorus: Orville Peck and Noah Cyrus]
So goodbye Appaloosa, ride away
I’m headed North for New York State

Appalachia, help me on my way
Bad luck can’t follow me to stay
If I leave Atchafalaya by today

[Chorus: Orville Peck and Noah Cyrus]
So goodbye Appaloosa, ride away
I’m headed North for New York State
Appalachia, help me on my way
(Appalachia, help me on my way)
Bad luck can’t follow me to stay
If I leave Atchafalaya by today

[Outro]
If I leave Atchafalaya by today
