Voodoo Lake Lyrics

    (johnny vanzant -- chris eddy -- bob britt)

    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
