Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou The old bayou
There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine Wearing hand me down clothes, drinking homemade wine No one ever knew who her daddy was The people down here say it's all because She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake The keeper of souls down on vodoo lake
There's a city boy across the county line Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies But he found out different when he looked inher eyes Well he tried to run away but she had control He's findin' out now what everybody knows He knew it was over when she started to shake Now there's one more soul down on voodoo lake
There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn A chill in the air, something wrong When a shadow crosses the ground Those long lost souls never make a sound You'd think by now they'd realize She'll never break her bayou ties
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake The keeper of souls down on voodoo lake
Voodoo lake, voodoo lake Daughter of the devil, sister of a snake Voodoo lake Down on voodoo lake, down on voodoo lake You can see her down on voodoo lake
