Tell Me a Swamp Story - Tony Joe White

Tell me a swamp story

Not like the ones on t.

v

I want something that makes me shiver

Feel a coldness in my knees

I want to hear about the old song y’all

Where the woman went crazy

And I need to know about the conjure woman

And what became of her baby

Tell me the swamp story

Turn the lamp down low

Baby pull my cover up

And I’ll let you know

It’s getting too rough

I’ll let you know when

Don’t tell me about the angel of death

That came walking down the dirt road

Can’t get my breath

Just make it count swampy

You know something about her snake

Maybe about no aligator me just one

Tell me

Please don’t talk about the fireball

That circles around the room

I don’t think I can even close my eyes

Hope their lighters come

Tell me a swamp story

Just a little swamp story
