Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler   Made moonshine so he could make a dollar   Six feet tall, dressed in overalls   And wore himself a long gray beard      People say Floyd came to town one day   But two law dogs got in his way   Floyd never hurt no one in his life   But they never came back this way   No, they never came back this way      And the people say...   Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan   Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone   And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin'   Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye      The G-men came out to track him down   But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned   They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing   How how how how how      And the people say...   Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan   Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone   And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin'   Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye      Yeah the souls are they were cryin'   Yeah the creeper he was creepin'      Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors   All they could say is he was eaten by a gator   The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing   How how how how how      And the soul said...   Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan   Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone   Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone   There's a full moon now    The moon was shinin' bright singing   Aye aye aye aye aye
