The Legend Of Wooley Swamp - THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods[00:01:00]

And he never did do a lot of harm in the world[00:01:03]

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

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

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

The old man didn't care about people anyway[00:01:13]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else[00:01:45]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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