Swamp Witch Hattie

Enthick from the cypress trees like saucer john smokehouse wall Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes and all I'm watching you Stay off the track In the back of the black by you We're a blowed from Hattie's shag lies asleep a little over Jobe town Doggers won't which had it lock you in when the sun go down

Rumors of what she'd done, rumors of what she'd do Kept folks off a track of hatty shy in the back of the black by you One day brought the rain, the rain stayed on and the swamp water overflowed Skeeters in the fever grabbed the town like a fist, Dr. Jackson was the first to go

Some said the plague was brought by Haddy, there was talk of a hangin' too Oh God, shackled by the howls and the cackles from the bowels of the black bayou Condorn when shadows feel the sky Unseen cola on a town where whole world runs The square that was found a big black round

Fat full of gurgling brood Wounds as the folks gathered round When you trapped inside a slawless tank and shield Sculpted up the liquid deep and green And the whole town took a sale In the very next day the skies again Blue that's they cold had it for savin' our town We all fetch it from the black bayou

New ten of the town's best men Headed for heavy shack Said swamp witch magic was useful and good And they're gonna bring Hadi back Never found a shack that never made a trip back in to a node that found tack to a storm said don't come looking again Then cauldron Don't come near
