ol hangin moon castin rays
on them raw bones and swampland graves
the dirty thirties
in a bible belt town
a bad moon rising, a son going down
olde fashion black magik
The left hand shaking
the right hand of god
a souther preacher's grin
and a black magic woman's nod
brothers and sisters a bad seed's a comin
a vodoo child is born
a southern church shunnin
olde fashion black magik
hell bound son of a preacher,
a bad seed's a comin
hell bound son of preacher,the bayou's a floodin
brothers and sisters a bad seeds a comin
that southern devils hummin
and the bayou's a floodin'
and a bad seeds a comin
a boone county bayou bellow
with the devil on my breath
whiskey on my lips
soon ill meet my death
