[00:00:38] Well if you ever go back into wooley swamp

[00:00:40] Well you better not go at night

[00:00:43] There's things out there in the middle of them woods

[00:00:46] That make a strong man die from fright

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

[00:00:50] And things that creep around on the ground

[00:00:53] And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay

[00:00:55] Gets up and he walks around

[00:00:57] But I couldn't believe it

[00:01:00] I just had to find out for myself

[00:01:02] And I couldn't conceive it

[00:01:05] Cause I never would have listened to nobody else

[00:01:07] And I couldn't believe it

[00:01:10] I just had to find out for myself

[00:01:13] There's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:01:21] The old man lived in the wooley swamp

[00:01:23] Way back in booger woods

[00:01:26] He never did do a lot of harm in the world

[00:01:28] But he never did do no good

[00:01:31] People didn't think too much of him

[00:01:33] They all thought he acted funny

[00:01:35] The old man didn't care about people anyway

[00:01:38] All he cared about was his money

[00:01:40] He'd stuff it all down in mason jars

[00:01:43] And he'd bury it all around

[00:01:45] And on certain nights if the moon was right

[00:01:48] He'd dig it up out of the ground

[00:01:50] He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack

[00:01:53] And run his fingers through it

[00:01:55] Yeah Lucius Clay was a greedy old man

[00:01:57] And that's all that there was to it

[00:02:04] But I couldn't believe it

[00:02:07] I just had to find out for myself

[00:02:09] And I couldn't conceive it

[00:02:12] Cause I never would have listened to nobody else

[00:02:14] And I couldn't believe it

[00:02:17] I just had to find out for myself

[00:02:20] There's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:02:28] Cable boys was white trash

[00:02:30] They lived over on carver's creek

[00:02:32] They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat

[00:02:35] And belligerent when they'd speak

[00:02:37] One night the oldest brother said

[00:02:39] Y all meet me at the wooley swamp later

[00:02:42] We'll take old Lucius's money

[00:02:44] And we'll feed him to the alligators

[00:02:48] They found the old man out in the back

[00:02:50] With a shovel in his hand

[00:02:52] Thirteen rusty mason jars

[00:02:54] Was tust dug up out of the sand

[00:02:57] And they all went crazy and they beat the old man

[00:03:00] And they picked him up off of the ground

[00:03:02] Threw him in the swamp and stood there

[00:03:04] And laughed as the black water sucked him down

[00:03:07] Then they turned around and went back to the shack

[00:03:09] And picked up the money and ran

[00:03:11] They hadn't gone no where when they realized

[00:03:14] They were running in quicksand

[00:03:16] And they struggled and they screamed

[00:03:17] But they couldn't get away

[00:03:19] And just before they went under

[00:03:21] They could hear that old man laughing in a voice as loud as thunder

[00:03:27] And that's been fifty years ago

[00:03:29] And you can go by there yet

[00:03:30] There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack

[00:03:34] Where the ground is always wet

[00:03:36] And on summer nights

[00:03:37] If the moon is right down by the that dark footpath

[00:03:40] You can hear three young men screaming

[00:03:43] You can hear one old man laugh

[00:03:46] Well if you ever go back into wooley swamp

[00:03:48] Well you better not go at night

[00:03:50] There's things out there in the middle of them woods

[00:03:53] That make a strong man die from fright

[00:03:56] Things that crawl and things that fly and things that creep

[00:03:59] Around on the ground

[00:04:00] And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay

[00:04:02] Gets up and he walks around

[00:04:04] But I couldn't believe it

[00:04:07] I just had to find out for myself

[00:04:09] And I couldn't conceive it

[00:04:12] Cause I never would have listened to nobody else

[00:04:15] And I couldn't believe it

[00:04:17] I just had to find out for myself

[00:04:20] There's some things in this world you just can't explain

[00:04:25] There's some things in this world you just can't explain
