I posted this because someone had expressed interest in covering it, but never did. I believe it needs a lyric change. Instead of "She's the Spirit of the Earth" it should now be "Water Spirit of the Earth" because it makes more sense

Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
Written during FAWM 2015. One of many songs that I have written that are clearly not meant for me to sing or perform but might work nicely for another performer.
Lyrics
Lyric change--Instead of "She's the Spirit of the Earth" it should now be "Water Spirit of the Earth" because it makes more sense. Recording has original lyric. Below is correct lyric. #463-Spirit of The Earth © Rob Lincoln 2015 (open) D F 4x intro and before and after each chorus except not before last Dsus chord then up 5 -F and 7 -C on fret (Dsus may be misnamed it is D w/o 2nd finger down) Dsus F(up 5) C You see her in the cold green water Coming into view Slowly rising as the daughter Am D That you never knew She comes to you all dressed in emeralds As rain pounds on the pond Boats are tethered you see several Then she waves her wand C D Water spirit of the earth Who never saw her birth Who cannot ever die Don’t let her catch your eye She raises up the fish beneath her They dance around her wand And then the boats they all set sail And glide along the pond She turns her emeralds into rubies And then to topaz blue And each time she blinks her eyes They turn another hue Water spirit of the earth Who never saw her birth Who cannot ever die Don’t let her catch your eye You call to her but she won’t listen She lifts into the clouds Slowly the sky it starts to glisten And then you say aloud Water spirit of the earth Who never saw her birth Who cannot ever die Don’t let her catch your eye Your eye 4X
