_ [C] _ [D] If you ever go [C] back in the woody [G] swamp well you better not go [D] at night.
There's things out there in the [C] middle of the [G] woods that make a strong man die for [C] pride.
[D] Things that [C] crawl on things and [G]
things that creep around on the [D] ground.
And they say the [C] ghost of a luscious [G] clay gets up and he [D] walks around.
But I couldn't believe it.
[C] I [G] just had to find out [D] for myself and I couldn't contain [C] it.
Oh [G] I never would have listened to [D] nobody else and I couldn't believe [C] it.
[G] I just had to find [D] out for [C] myself and there's some [G] things in this world you just can't [D] explain.
Hey, _ _ _ the old man lived in the woody [Dm] swamp way back in Booger Woods.
[C] And it never did do a lot of harm in the world but it never did do no good.
[Dm]
People didn't think too much of him.
They all thought he acted funny.
[C] The old man didn't care about people anyway.
All he cared about was his money.
[D] And he'd stuff it all down into mason jars and bury it all around.
[C] And on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground.
And [Dm] then he'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it.
[C] Yeah, luscious clay was a greedy old man.
That's all that there was to it.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But I couldn't believe [C] it.
I just [G] had to find [D] out for myself and I couldn't contain [C] it.
I would never [G] listen [D] to nobody else and I couldn't [C] believe it.
I just [G] had to find [D] out for myself [C] and there's some [G] things in this world you just [D] can't explain. _ _ _
_ _ The boys was white trash and they lived over on Carver's Creek.
[C] They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat but ignorant when they speak.
[Dm] One night the oldest brother said,
I'll bet y'all meet me in the woody swamp later.
[C] We'll take old Lucy's money and feed him to the [G] alligators.
[D] They grabbed [Dm] the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand.
[C] And 13 rusty mason jars had just dug up out of the sand.
[Dm] And they all went crazy and they beat the old man and they picked him up off of the ground.
And [C] they threw him in the swamp and stood there and laughed as the black water [Dm] sucked him down.
Then they turned around and went back to the shack and picked up the money and ran.
But they [C] hadn't gone nowhere when they realized that they were running in quicksand.
[Dm] And they struggled to scream but they couldn't get away just before they went under.
[C] They could hear that old man laughing in a voice as loud as thunder.
[Dm] That's been 50 years ago and you can go by there yet.
[C] And there's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack where the ground is always wet.
[Dm] And on certain nights if the moon is right down by that dark footpath,
[C] you hear three young men screaming and you hear one old man laugh.
