Letra de Thick Black Water

[Verse 1]
Deep in the Bayou, lost out in the night
I heard a voice call out to me, I saw a distant light
Following the smoke trail to that burning pyre
Black haired voodoo woman, she was dancing 'round the fire
[Chorus]
She sang hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
[Verse 2]
She led me to a stilt house, pulled me through the door
Handed me an old jug then she sat me on the floor
Black cat in the window, coon skin on the wall
She shook those hips and cast those bones
I can’t tell you what I saw
[Chorus]
But we sang hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
[Chorus]
She said, “Welcome boy down to the swamp
Where the ancient cypress grow
Where the Spanish moss hangs to the ground
And the thick black water flows.”
There was hoodoo and voodoo and all that she could do
Shook me from my head to my toes, where the thick black water flows
[Verse 4]
Next thing I remember I woke up in the light
I turned and looked around me there was not a soul in sight
I felt my fingers tremble, I sensed a silent fear
My head was pounding with that voodoo rhythm in my ears
[Chorus]
And I heard hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
[Chorus]
She said, “Welcome boy down to the swamp
Where the ancient cypress grow
Where the Spanish moss hangs to the ground
And the thick black water flows.”
There was hoodoo and voodoo and all that she could do
Shook me from my head to my toes, where the thick black water flows
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
