Floyd lyrics

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, hear the hound dogs moan

Aye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's 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 hell hounds but they turned around

Singin' how, how, how, how, how

How, how, how, how, how

And the people say

Aye, aye, aye, hear the hound dogs moan

Aye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long gone

And the creeper was a-creepin'

And the souls they were hollerin'

Singin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

Yeah, the souls they were cryin'

Yeah, the creeper he was creepin'

Sheriff 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

Singin, how, how, how, how, how

How, how, how, how, how

And the soul said

And the creeper was creepin'

And the souls they were cryin'

Singin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

Aye, aye, aye, hear the hound dogs moan

Aye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long gone

Aye, aye, aye, now that Floyd's long gone

There's a full moon now

The moon was shinin' bright

Singin' aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
