Legend Of Wooley Swamp - The Charlie Daniels Band
Written by：Daniels Charlie/Digregorio William j./Crain John/Edwards Fred/Hayward Charles Fred/Marshall James W.

Well 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

Things that crawl and 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

Old man lived in the wooley swamp way back in booger woods

And 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

But 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
And he'd run his fingers through it

Yeah lucius clay was a greedy old man
And that's all there ever was to it

But I couldn't believe it I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it cause 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 cable boys were white trash they lived over on carver's creek

They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat
And belligerent when they'd speak

One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet me in the wooley swamp later

We'll take old lucius' money and we'll feed him to the alligators

Then the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand

And thirteen rusty mason jars he'd just dug up out of the sand

Then they all went crazy and they beat the old man
And 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
And then they turned around and went back to the shack
Picked up the money and ran

Hadn't gone nowhere when they realized
That they were running in quicksand

And they struggled and they screamed but they couldn't get away
And just before they went under

They could hear that old man laughing
In a voice as loud as thunder
That's been fifty years ago an' if you go by there yet

There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack
Where the ground is always wet

And on certain nights if the moon is right
Down by that dark footpath

You can hear three young men screaming
And you can hear one old man laugh
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

Things that crawl and 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

There's some things in this world you just can't explain
