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

Written by：Daniels Charlie/Digregorio William j./Crain John/Edwards Fred/Hayward Charles Fred/Marshall James W.[00:00:01]

Well if you ever go back into wooley swamp[00:00:27]

Well you better not go at night[00:00:30]

There's things out there in the middle of them woods[00:00:32]

That'd make a strong man die from fright[00:00:35]

Things that crawl and things that fly[00:00:38]

Things that creep around on the ground[00:00:40]

And they say the ghost of lucius clay gets up and he walks around[00:00:42]

But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:00:47]

And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else[00:00:52]

And I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:00:57]

There's some things in this world you just can't explain[00:01:03]

Old man lived in the wooley swamp way back in booger woods[00:01:11]

And he never did do a lot of harm in the world[00:01:15]

He just never did do no good[00:01:18]

People didn't think too much of him[00:01:21]

They all thought he acted funny[00:01:23]

The old man didn't care about people anyway[00:01:25]

All he cared about was his money[00:01:27]

He'd stuff it all down into mason jars and bury it all around[00:01:30]

But on certain nights if the moon was right[00:01:35]

He'd dig it up out of the ground[00:01:38]

Then he'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack[00:01:40]

And he'd run his fingers through it[00:01:42]

Yeah lucius clay was a greedy old man[00:01:45]

And that's all there ever was to it[00:01:47]

But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:01:54]

And I couldn't conceive it cause never would listen to nobody else[00:01:59]

And I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:02:04]

There's some things in this world you just can't explain[00:02:10]

The cable boys were white trash they lived over on carver's creek[00:02:18]

They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat[00:02:23]

And belligerent when they'd speak[00:02:25]

One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet me in the wooley swamp later[00:02:28]

We'll take old lucius' money and we'll feed him to the alligators[00:02:33]

Then the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand[00:02:38]

And thirteen rusty mason jars he'd just dug up out of the sand[00:02:43]

Then they all went crazy and they beat the old man[00:02:48]

And they picked him up off the ground[00:02:50]

Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed[00:02:53]

As the black water sucked him down[00:02:55]

And then they turned around and went back to the shack[00:02:58]

Picked up the money and ran[00:03:00]

Hadn't gone nowhere when they realized[00:03:03]

That they were running in quicksand[00:03:05]

And they struggled and they screamed but they couldn't get away[00:03:07]

And just before they went under[00:03:10]

They could hear that old man laughing[00:03:13]

In a voice as loud as thunder[00:03:14]

That's been fifty years ago an' if you go by there yet[00:03:18]

There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack[00:03:23]

Where the ground is always wet[00:03:25]

And on certain nights if the moon is right[00:03:28]

Down by that dark footpath[00:03:30]

You can hear three young men screaming[00:03:33]

And you can hear one old man laugh[00:03:35]

If you ever go back into wooley swamp well you better not go at night[00:03:38]

There's things out there in the middle of them woods[00:03:42]

That'd make a strong man die from fright[00:03:45]

Things that crawl and things that fly[00:03:48]

Things that creep around on the ground[00:03:50]

And they say the ghost of lucius clay gets up and he walks around[00:03:52]

But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:03:56]

And I couldn't conceive it I never would listen to nobody else[00:04:02]

And I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself[00:04:07]

There's some things in this world you just can't explain[00:04:12]

There's some things in this world you just can't explain[00:04:17]
