Floyd

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, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is 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 hellhounds but they turned around singing How how how how how And the people say Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye Yeah the souls are 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 singing How how how how how And the soul said Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone There's a full moon now The moon was shinin' bright singing Aye aye aye aye aye --- Floyd - Lynyrd Skynyrd
