lirik lagu the legend of wooley swamp – jungle dream

[intro]

[verse 1]
if you ever go back into wooley swamp
well, 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 lucius clay gets up and it walks around
[chorus]
i couldn’t believe it, i just had to find out for myself
i couldn’t conceive it, i never would listen to n0body else
i couldn’t believe it, i just had to find out for myself
there’s some things in this world you just can’t explain

[verse 2]
the old man lived in the wooley swamp way back in the gurgling woods
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
hey 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 into mason jars and bury it all around
and on certain nights when 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
yeah, lucius clay was a greedy old man
and that’s all there ever was to it

[chorus]
i couldn’t believe it, i just had to find out for myself
i couldn’t conceive it, i never would listen to n0body else
i couldn’t believe it, i just had to find out for myself
there’s some things in this world you just can’t explain
[verse 3]
the crayton boys was white trash
and 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 wooley swamp later
we’ll get old lucius’ 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
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 as the black water sucked him down
then they turned around and went back to the shack
and they picked up the money and ran
they hadn’t gone nowhere when they realized they were running in quicksand
they struggled and screamed but they couldn’t get away
then just before they went under
they could hear that old man laughing in a voice that was loud as thunder

[bridge]
and 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 summer 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
[refrain]
if you ever go back into wooley swamp
well, 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 lucius clay gets up and it walks around

[outro]
some things in this world you just can’t explain
