The Legend of Wooly Swamp
作詞:T Crain, Charlie Daniels, T Digregorio, F Edwards, C Hayward, J Marshall
If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp Baby you better not go at night There's things out there in the middle of them woods That'd make a strong man die from fright
Things that crawl and things that fly Things that creep around on the ground And they say, 'The ghost of Lucias Clay Gets up and it walks around'
But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else And I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp Way back in the gurgling woods And he never did do a lot of harm in the world He just never did do no good
People didn't think too much of him They all thought he acted funny The old man didn't care about people anyway All he cared about was his money
He'd stuff it all down in the Mason jars And bury it all around But on certain nights if the moon was right He'd dig it up out of the ground
Then he pour it all out on the floor of his shack And he run his fingers through it Yeah, Lucias Clay was a greedy old man And that's all there ever was to it
But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else And I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
The Crayton boys were white trash They lived over on Parvis Creek They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat And belligerent when they'd speak
One night the oldest brother said 'Y'all meet in the Wooly Swamp later We'll take old Lucias' money もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com And we'll feed him to the alligators'
They found the old man out in the back With a shovel in his hand Thirteen rusty Mason jars He just dug up out of the sand
Then they all went crazy and they beat the old man And they picked him up off the ground They threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed As the black water sucked him down
And then they turned around and went back to the shack And they picked up the money and ran Hadn't gone nowhere when they realized That they were runnin' in quicksand
And they struggled and they screamed But they couldn't get away and just before they went under They could hear that old man laughin' In a voice as loud as thunder
Now that's been fifty years ago An' if you go back by there again There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack Where the ground is always wet
And on certain nights if the moon is right And you're down by that dark footpath You can hear three young men screamin' And you can hear one old man laugh
If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp Baby you better not go at night There's things out there in the middle of them woods That'd make a strong man die from fright
There's things that crawl and things that fly And things that creep around on the ground And they say, 'The ghost of Lucias Clay Get's up and he walks around'
But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else And I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself That there's some things in this world, you just can't explain There's some things in this world you just can't explain
