[Intro] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Yeah [Verse 1] Up the hill, over yonder, way out in the boondocks Where the wildwood woman watches the clock Just a shell of herself in a shotgun shack The last house standin' on the wrong side of the tracks Red-eyed devil, woman in black Hold my soul, hold my soul, don't give it back [Chorus] I was a-walkin' down the street When a voice started callin' out to me And she said, "Hey, won't you stop for a spell? I could really use a man who don't look too well" I said, "Nah, I'm a-runnin' from the law And I know a thing or two 'bout women like y'all" She said, "Boy, you'll be wishin' you could" And her eyes turned red as a wildwood [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Verse 2] The wildwood woman was a-knowin' all along That a hard-luck man ain't a-gonna stay gone Sooner or later, I'll come creepin' on back If she can find me face-down in the creek out back And there's a chance I'll get up and come inside And if I don't, at least I tried [Chorus] Yeah, I was a-walkin' down the street When a voice started callin' out to me And she said, "Hey, won't you stop for a spell? I could really use a man who don't look too well" I said, "Nah, I'm a-runnin' from the law And I know a thing or two 'bout women like y'all" She said, "Boy, you'll be wishin' you could" And her eyes turned red as a wildwood
