The Legend of Wooley Swamp Song Lyrics

Well, if you ever go back in the Wooley Swamp
Well, you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods that make a strong man die from fright
Things that crawl, things that fly, things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay gets up and he walks around

But I couldn't believe it; I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it; I never would listen to nobody else
And 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

The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp way back in Booger Woods
He never did do a lot of harm in the world
He just never did do no good
People didn't think too much of him
They 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, if the moon was right
He'd dig it up out of the ground
Then he'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack
