Pay a dolla' little child
You want it all, I'll make you smile
She cast a spell and gators played
And that's the day he got his name
Woke up in a witch's ring
She calls the shots and pulls his strings
Ridin' high on her dark mojo
Step in line it's the CrawDaddy show
Legend has it you can sell your soul
Lucy came callin' at the fais do do
Rattled them bones in the red moonlight
Crawdaddy was born on that Louisiana night
Yellow eyes and a voodoo smile
Running the backwoods Cajun style
Bayou rum and sugar cane
King of the swamp CrawDaddy reigns
Swamp queens and creole pie
Hells belles and Cajun shine
Fiddles scream from dusk til dawn
His eyes roll black the party's on
Mud bugs boilin' and the Dixie Brews
Tossin' em back wit da swamp pawdy crew
Tin roofs a shakin, no city in sight
Black magic spells in the fading light
Yellow eyes and a voodoo smile
Running the backwoods Cajun style
Bayou rum and sugar cane
King of the swamp CrawDaddy reigns
Many a men never make it back
Too high on gumbo and Sazerac
Out come the banjos, guns and pipes
Daddy only comes out to play at night
Swamp never lies and the tales run deep
About Crawdaddy's reign and his mon chéri
Yellow eyes and a voodoo smile
Running the backwoods Cajun style
Bayou rum and sugar cane
King of the swamp CrawDaddy reigns
