《The Legend of Wooley Swamp》歌词

[00:00:00] The Legend of Wooley Swamp - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:19] If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son

[00:00:21] You better not go at night

[00:00:24] There's things out there in the middle of them woods

[00:00:26] That'd make a strong man die from fright

[00:00:28] There's things that crawl and things that fly

[00:00:31] And things that creep around on the ground

[00:00:33] And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around

[00:00:37] But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:00:42] And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else

[00:00:47] No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:00:52] That there's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:01:00] The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp

[00:01:02] Way back in the gurgling woods

[00:01:04] And he never did do a lot of harm in the world

[00:01:07] But he never did do no good

[00:01:09] People didn't think too much of him

[00:01:11] They all thought he acted funny

[00:01:14] The old man didn't care about people anyway

[00:01:16] All he cared about was his money

[00:01:18] He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around

[00:01:23] But on certain nights if the moon was right

[00:01:26] He'd dig it up out of the ground

[00:01:28] He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack

[00:01:31] And run his fingers through it

[00:01:33] Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man

[00:01:35] And that's all there ever was to it

[00:01:42] But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:01:47] And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else

[00:01:51] No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:01:56] That there's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:02:04] The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek

[00:02:08] They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat

[00:02:11] And belligerent when they'd speak

[00:02:13] One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later

[00:02:18] We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators

[00:02:23] They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand

[00:02:28] And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand

[00:02:32] And they all went crazy and they beat the old man

[00:02:35] Then they picked him up off the ground

[00:02:37] Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed

[00:02:40] Till the black water sucked him down

[00:02:42] Then they turned around and went back to the shack

[00:02:44] And they picked up the money and ran

[00:02:47] But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized

[00:02:49] They were running in quicksand

[00:02:51] And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away

[00:02:54] Then just before they were gone

[00:02:56] They could hear that old man laughing

[00:02:59] In a voice that was loud and strong

[00:03:01] Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again

[00:03:06] There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack

[00:03:08] Where the ground is always wet

[00:03:10] And on certain nights if the moon is right

[00:03:13] And you're down by the dark footpath

[00:03:15] You can hear three young men screaming

[00:03:18] And you can hear that old man laugh

[00:03:20] If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son

[00:03:23] You better not go at night

[00:03:25] There's things out there in the middle of them woods

[00:03:27] That'd make a strong man die from fright

[00:03:30] There's things that crawl and things that fly

[00:03:32] And things that creep around on the ground

[00:03:34] And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around

[00:03:38] But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:03:44] And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else

[00:03:48] No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:03:53] That there's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:03:58] That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
