Lyrics Tell Me a Swamp Story - Tony Joe White

Tell Me a Swamp Story

Tell me a swamp story
Not like the ones on t.
v
I want something that makes me shiver
Feel a coldness in my knees
I want to hear about the old song y’all
Where the woman went crazy
And I need to know about the conjure woman
And what became of her baby
Tell me the swamp story
Turn the lamp down low
Baby pull my cover up
And I’ll let you know
It’s getting too rough
I’ll let you know when
Don’t tell me about the angel of death
That came walking down the dirt road
Can’t get my breath
Just make it count swampy
You know something about her snake
Maybe about no aligator me just one
Tell me
Please don’t talk about the fireball
That circles around the room
I don’t think I can even close my eyes
Hope their lighters come
Tell me a swamp story
Just a little swamp story
