Karaoke Track: Swamp Witch by Jim Stafford (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

BLACK WATER HATTIE
LIVED BACK IN THE SWAMP
WHERE STRANGE GREEN

REPTILES CRAWL .

SNAKES HANG THICK l

FROM THE CYPRESS TREES
LIKE SAUGAGE ON A
SMOKEHOUSE WALL.

WELL THE SWAMP IS ALIVE

WITH A THOUSAND EYES l

AND ALL OF 'EM WATCHIN' YOU.
STAY OFF THE TRACK

T0 HATTIE'S SHACK

IN THE BACK OF THE

BLACK BAYOU .

WAY UP THE ROAD

FROM HATTIE'S SHACK

LIES A SLEEPY LITTLE
OKIE CHOBIE TOWN.

BLACK BAYOU .

WAY UP THE ROAD
FROM HATTIE'S SHACK
LIES A SLEEPY LITTLE
OKIE CHOBIE TOWN .

TALK IS SWAMP WITCH HATTIE

LOCK YOU IN

WHEN THE SUN G0 DOWN.

RUMORS OF WHAT SHE DONE

AND RUMORS OF WHAT SHE'D D0

KEPT FOLKS OFF THE TRACK

T0 HATTIE'S SHACK
IN THE BACK OF THE

BLACK BAYOU .

ONE DAY BROUGHT THE RAIN

AND THE RAIN STAYED 0N

AND THE SWAMP WATER

OVERFLOWED .

'SQUITOES AND THE FEVER

GRABBED THE TOWN

LIKE A FIST

ON THE SQUARE THERE WAS FOUND
A BIG BLACK ROUND VAT FULL OF
GURGELIN' BREW.
WHISPERIN' SOUNDS AS THE FOLKS

GATHERED ROUND IT CAME FROM THE

BLACK BAYOU .
THERE AIN'T MUCH PRIDE WHEN YOU'RE
TRAPPED INSIDE A SLOWLY
SINKIN' SHIP.
