Voodoo Lake by Lynyrd Skynyrd

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
Wearin' hand me down clothes, drinkin' homemade wine
The homemade wine

And 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 Voodoo Lake
Voodoo Lake

There's a city boy across the county line
Came lookin' for the legend of the girl so fine
Yes she's so fine

Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies
But he found out different when he looked in her eyes
Right into her 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
Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake

There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn
A chill in the air, something's 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 those 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
Down on Voodoo Lake
