Floyd

floyd - lynyrd skynyrd
floyd was a trapper
way back in the holler
made moonshine
so he could make a dollar
six feet tall
dressed in overalls
and wore himself
a long gray beard
people say floyd
came to town one day
but two law dogs
got in his way
floyd never hurt
no one in his life
but they never
came back this way
no, they never
came back this way
and the people say...
aye, aye, aye, aye hear
the hound dogs moan
aye, aye, aye, aye now
that floyd is long gone
and 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 down
but the swamp was too deep
even one of them drowned
they sent in the hellhounds
but they turned around singing
how how how how how
how how how how how
and the people say...
aye, aye, aye, aye hear
the hound dogs moan
aye, aye, aye, aye now
that floyd is long gone
and the creeper was
a creepin' and the souls
they were hollerin' singin'
aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
yeah the souls are they were cryin'
yeah the creeper he was creepin'
sherriff boudreaux
came to talk to his neighbors
all they could
say is he was eaten by a gator
the legend lives on
but floyd he's at home singing
how how how how how
how how how how how
and the creeper was
a creepin' and the souls
they were hollerin' singin'
aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
aye, aye, aye, aye hear
the hound dogs moan
aye, aye, aye, aye now
that floyd is long gone
aye, aye, aye, aye now
that floyd is long gone
there's a full moon now
the moon was shinin' bright singing
aye aye aye aye aye
