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 cry with fright  Things that crawl and things that fly  and things that creep around on the ground  And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay   gets up and it walks around    (chorus)  But I couldn't believe it   I just had to find out for myself  And I couldn't conceive it  cause I never would listen to nobody else  No I couldn't believe it   I just had to find out for myself  Some things in this world   you just can't explain    (spoken)  The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp   way back in the booger woods   He never did do a lot of harm in the world  but he 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 in Mason jars   and bury it all around  And on certain nights when the moon was right  he'd dig it up out of the ground  He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack  and run his fingers through it  Yeah ol' Lucius Clay was a greedy old man  and that's all there ever was to it    (chorus)    (spoken)  The Crayver boys was 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 in the Wooly Swamp later  we'll take old Lucius's money and   we'll feed him to the alligators"  They found the old man out in   the back with a shovel in his hand  And thirteen rusty Mason jars   he just dug up out of the sand  And they all went crazy and they beat the old man  then 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  Then they turned around and went back to the shack  and they picked up the money and ran.  But hadn't gone nowheres when they realized  they were running in quicksand.  And they struggled and screamed   but they couldn't get away  And just before they went under  they could hear that old man laughing  in a voice that was loud as thunder    That's been fifty years ago   an' if you go by there yet  There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack  where the ground is always wet  And on certain nights if the moon is right  and you're down by the dark wood path  You can hear three young men screaming  and you can hear one old man laugh    (sung)  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 cry with fright  Things that crawl and things that fly  and things that creep around on the ground  And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay   gets up and it walks around    (chorus)    (spoken)  Some things in this world   you just can't explain    these lyrics are submitted by Eric Teixeira
