I was born way back in the woods & swamp

On the Hickory River shore

Was a graveyard out in the back of the house

I been handling snakes since I was three
E minorEm
And I ain't going to take it no more

E minorEm
My daddy was a Louisiana mojo man
E minorEm
The devil followed him around

And make the fire come tumbling down

You better not mess around
