Swamp Devil Blues

(hm-mmmmm) (yeah) Down in the blackwater mud

Where the moss hangs heavy like a shroud

I met a devil named Joe

Who told me where the bad things grow (lord have mercy)

It's a goddamn mess

in the bayou tonight

No salvation,

no holy

light

Get your hands dirty,

sink in the clay 'Cause the swamp is gonna take you

anyway

Two dollars in my torn-up coat

And a wicked little blade at my throat

He said, 'Shut your mouth,

boy, don't you scream'

Before he drug me down

into the muddy

green

It's a goddamn mess

in the bayou tonight

No salvation,

no holy

light

Get your hands dirty,

sink in the clay 'Cause the swamp is gonna take you

anyway

Lost in the haze

Walking in a drug-fueled daze (yeah,

motherfucker)

(fuck, yeah)

Swamp's gonna take you down...

Yeah, it's taking me under... (damn)
