I,

Swa mp Witch

In the xtyie of

Jim Stafford

(Spoken)
Black water Hattie lived
back in the swamp

where strange green
reptiles crawl

Stay off the track
to Hattie's shack

in the back of
the Black Bayou

Way up the road
from Hattie's shack

lies a sleepy little
Okeechobee town

Rumors of what she'd done
Rumors of what she'd d0
kept folks off the track
of Hattie's shack
in the back of the Black Bayou

One day brought the rain
the rain stayed on

and the swamp water
overflowed

Some said the plague
was brought by Hattie

There was talk
of a hangin' too

But the talk got shackled
by the howls and the cackles

from the bowels of the
Black Bayou

Early one mornin'

'tween dark and dawn
when shadows filled the sky

There came an unseen caller
on a town where hope run dry
You'd swear there was found
a big black round
vat full of gurglin' brew

Whisperin' sounds
as the folks gathered round

And it came from the
Black Bayou

There ain't much pride

when you're trapped inside
a slowly sinkin' ship

Fever went away

and the very next day
the skies again were blue

Let's thank old Hattie
for savin' our town

We'll fetch her from
the Black Bayou

Party of ten

of the town's best men
headed for Hattie's shack

Never found Hattie
and they never found
the shack

and they never made
a trip back in

There was a parchment note
they found tacked to a stump
Said,

Don't come lookin' again
