《The Legend Of Wooley Swamp》歌词

[00:00:00] The Legend Of Wooley Swamp - The Charlie Daniels Band

[00:00:19] If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night

[00:00:23] 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

[00:00:30] 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 way back in the gurgling woods

[00:01:03] 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

[00:01:13] 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

[00:01:25] He'd dig it up out of the ground

[00:01:27] He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack

[00:01:30] And run his fingers through it

[00:01:32] Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man

[00:01:34] And that's all there ever was to it

[00:01:41] But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:01:45] 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

[00:02:17] We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators

[00:02:22] They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand

[00:02:26] And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand

[00:02:31] And they all went crazy and they beat the old man

[00:02:34] Then they picked him up off the ground

[00:02:36] Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed

[00:02:39] Till the black water sucked him down

[00:02:41] Then they turned around and went back to the shack

[00:02:43] And they picked up the money and ran

[00:02:45] But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized

[00:02:47] They were running in quicksand

[00:02:50] And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away

[00:02:52] Then just before they were gone

[00:02:55] They could hear that old man laughing

[00:02:57] In a voice that was loud and strong

[00:02:59] Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again

[00:03:04] There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack

[00:03:07] Where the ground is always wet

[00:03:09] And on certain nights if the moon is right

[00:03:11] And you're down by the dark footpath

[00:03:13] You can hear three young men screaming

[00:03:16] And you can hear that old man laugh

[00:03:19] If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night

[00:03:23] There's things out there in the middle of them woods

[00:03:25] That'd make a strong man die from fright

[00:03:27] There's things that crawl and things that fly

[00:03:30] And things that creep around on the ground

[00:03:32] And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around

[00:03:37] But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:03:41] And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else

[00:03:46] No I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself

[00:03:52] That there's some things in this world you just can't explain
