We derived our version from a tattered piece of sheet music dated 1927
(Chloe Song of the Swamp  Public Domain  Daniels/Kahn)

Chloe! Chloe!
Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh
Chloe!  Chloe!
Empty spaces in his eyes
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying


Through the black of night
He’s got to go where you are
If it's wrong or right 
He’s got to go where you are


He’ll roam through the dismal swampland
Searching for you
cause if you are lost there
Let him be there, too


Through the smoke and flame
He’s got to go where you are
For no place could be too far
Where you are

Ain't no chains can bind you
If you live, he’s gonna find you
Love is calling him
He’s got to go where you are
