Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler
|
Made moonshine so he could make a dollar
|
Six feet tall, dressed in overalls
|
And wore himself a long gray beard
|
|
People say Floyd came to town one day
|
But two law dogs got in his way
|
Floyd never hurt no one in his life
|
But they never came back this way
|
No, they never came back this way
|
|
And the people say...
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone
|
And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin'
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
|
|
The G-men came out to track him down
|
But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned
|
They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing
|
How how how how how
|
|
And the people say...
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone
|
And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin'
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
|
|
Yeah the souls are they were cryin'
|
Yeah the creeper he was creepin'
|
|
Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors
|
All they could say is he was eaten by a gator
|
The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing
|
How how how how how
|
|
And the soul said...
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone
|
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone
|
There's a full moon now
|
The moon was shinin' bright singing
|
Aye aye aye aye aye
|
