If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son 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 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 | |
No 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 | |
But he 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 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 | |
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack | |
And run his fingers through it | |
Old 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 | |
No 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 ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later | |
We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators | |
They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand | |
And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand | |
And they all went crazy and they beat the old man | |
Then they picked him up off the ground | |
Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed | |
Till the black water sucked him down | |
Then they turned around and went back to the shack | |
And they picked up the money and ran | |
But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized | |
They were running in quicksand | |
And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away | |
Then just before they were gone | |
They could hear that old man laughing | |
In a voice that was loud and strong | |
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 the dark footpath | |
You can hear three young men screaming | |
And you can hear that old man laugh | |
If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son 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 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 | |
No 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 |
