(mmm-hmmm) Down in the thicket where the black water flows
I saw the devil in some dirty old clothes
He spit in the mud and he looked in my eye
And said you ain't leaving here tonight
Lord, this swamp is a goddamn hell
(yeah) Can't you smell that sulfurous smell?
Get the fuck out,
run for your life
Before the muddy water takes you tonight
Old bayou witch with her teeth knocked out
Whispering secrets that I don't doubt
She said the snakes in the grass are your friends
Compared to the bastards around the bend
Lord, this swamp is a goddamn hell
(oh lord) Can't you smell that sulfurous smell?
Get the fuck out,
run for your life
Before the muddy water takes you tonight
Down in the mud (yeah)
Just let me rot in the mud
(fuck
it
all)
