But if you ever go back [C] into Woody's farm [G] where you better not [C] go at [D] night, there's
things out [C] there in the middle of them woods [G] that make a strong man [C] die for pride.
Things that crawl and things that [G] fly and things that creep [C] around on the [D] ground.

The old man lived in the Woody's swamp way back in Moogler Woods.
[C]
He never did do a lot of harm in the world, but he never did do no good.
[Dm] People didn't think too much of him.
They all thought he acted funny.
[C]
The old man didn't care about people anyway.
All he cared about was his [D] money.
He'd stuff it all down in the mason jars and he'd bury it all around.
[C]
And on certain nights if the moon was right, he'd dig it up out of the ground.
[Dm] He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it.
[C] Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy old man and that's all there was to it.

Jiggle boys was white trash that lived over on Carver's Creek.
[C] They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat and belligerent when they'd speak.
[Dm] One night the oldest brother said, y'all meet me in the woody swamp later.
[C] We'll take old Lucius' money and we'll feed it to the alligators.
[Dm] They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand.
_ [C]
Thirteen rusty mason jars he just dug up out of the sand.
[Dm] And they all went crazy and they beat the old man and they picked him up off the ground.
[C]
Threw him in the swamp and stood there and laughed as the black water sucked him out.
[D] Then they turned [Dm] around and went back to the shack, picked up the money and ran.
[C] They hadn't gone nowhere when they realized they were running in quicksand.
And they [D] struggled and they [Dm] screamed but they couldn't get away and just before they went under,
[C] they could hear that old man laughing in a voice as loud as [Am] thunder.
It was fifty [Dm] years ago and you can go by there again.
[C] There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack where the ground is always wet.
[Dm] _ Sometimes the moon is right down by that dark wood [C] path and you can hear three young men screaming.
Here we go _

There's things out there [C] in the middle of the woods [G] that make a strong man die [C] of fright.

And they said the [C] growth of a lute just plagues its [D] up and it walks around but I couldn't believe [C] it.
I did that to find [D] out for myself and I couldn't conceive [C] it.
Cause I never would have [D] listened to nobody else and I couldn't believe it.
[C] I did [G] that to find out for myself.
[C] There's some things [B] in this world you just [D] can't explain.
