[intro - crowd is cheering] You guys ever been to the haunted bayou? [crowd cheers] The one right behind Goldfire City. [crowd cheers] Ha ha, This guy knows what im talking about. This guy right here wearing the Tommy's house of pokers T-shirt. [crowd cheers] Crazy fuckin shit goin on over there? [crowd cheers] You guys are in for a real treat... We're bringing in the church choir to sing back up for this one. Its called, "Haunted Bayou Blues" Guys ready? What bout you guys? You ready? [crowd cheers] 1 2 a 1 2 3 Drop it!!! [Banjo brings it up a notch] Yea!!! [Verse 1] Spanish moss hangin' Like old sins from the trees Moon’s just a sliver Cuttin' holes in the breeze Crawfish pots rustin' Boat half sunk in the reeds Heard my name in the cattails But the water don't bleed [Chorus] These haunted bayou blues Got me knee-deep in the mud Hear them chains in the current Feel that bone-cold flood Every ripple say my name Every shadow pulls me through I can't outrun These haunted bayou blues [Verse 2] Old church long shattered Cross bent over the mire Something walks on the water Like it’s steppin' through fire My granddaddy, "Creepy Beard" He ride the wings of the flies... He say, "Boy This swamp remember Every one of your lies" [Chorus] Woot!!! [Bridge] [low vocal register] Lantern on the dock swingin' But there ain’t been light for years Jawbone on the shoreline Grinnin' wide at my fears [slide guitar moan] If I sink one more secret In this black, slow stream... [pause] [crowd cheers] Gonna wake up married To a fever dream [crowd cheers] [Chorus] Yeah!!! [crowd cheers] [Banjo brings it home]
