Floyd
Floyd was a trapper way back in the hollerMade moonshine so he could make a dollarSix feet tall, dressed in overallsAnd wore himself a long gray beard
People say Floyd came to town one dayBut two law dogs got in his wayFloyd never hurt no one in his lifeBut they never came back this wayNo, they never came back this way
And the people sayAye, aye, aye, hear the hound dogs moanAye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long goneAnd 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 downBut the swamp was too deep, even one of them drownedThey sent in the hell hounds but they turned aroundSingin' how, how, how, how, howHow, how, how, how, how
And the people sayAye, aye, aye, hear the hound dogs moanAye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long goneAnd the creeper was a-creepin'And the souls they were hollerin'Singin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Yeah, the souls they were cryin'Yeah, the creeper he was creepin'
Sheriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighborsAll they could say is he was eaten by a gatorThe legend lives on but Floyd, he's at homeSingin, how, how, how, how, howHow, how, how, how, howAnd the soul said
And the creeper was creepin'And the souls they were cryin'Singin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, hear the hound dogs moanAye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long goneAye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long goneThere's a full moon nowThe moon was shinin' brightSingin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
