[Intro] [soft slide guitar moan] Swamp fire flickers… shadows crawl Moon’s hangin’ heavy… watchin’ it all [Verse 1] Fog on the water, thick and slow Whispers in the trees sayin’ things you don’t know Rusty gate creaks, lanterns sway Somethin’ in the dark gonna make you stay [Chorus] (Shiver now) when the cold wind blows (Watch your step) where the black moss grows Halloween night, hear the graveyard song In the haunted bayou, where the dead walk long [Verse 2] Bones keep rattlin’ underneath the floor Crows on the branches, cryin’ for more A hand on your shoulder, ain’t no friend Devil’s in the swamp where the roots don’t end [Chorus] (Shiver now) when the cold wind blows (Watch your step) where the black moss grows Halloween night, hear the graveyard song In the haunted bayou, where the dead walk long [Outro] [raspy laugh] Swamp don’t sleep, it just waits for you Keep one eye open… the stories are true
