Lyrics

Boogie Man
written by: Donald Ray Fischer

On the Jackson Plantation on the Texas Gulf Coast
Standing on the lake at midnight you can feel the ghosts
Beneath the Spanish moss that hangs from old oaks trees
When the wing blows through the ruins you can hear their screams

chorus:
You can see the devils dancing in the cool moonlight
You can see their fires a burning way into the night
Don't get to curious, Don't get yourself in a jam
When you hear the drums a singing that's the boogie man

One Jackson brother killed the other in a horrible fight
Chopped off his head into the water on that horrible night
And if you're foolish enough to be there way to late
You'll see him searching for his head a floating 'cross the lake
chorus

When that time of year came 'round there'd be a dare
To climb the gates under the moon and spend the night out there
Amongst the twisting and the turning of the monkey vines
We'd wait in silence scared to death of what we'd fine
