Louisiana Pollywogs - Along Voodoo Bayou

Louisiana Songs for Kids!

Along Voodoo Bayou
Performed by Don Hoffman

The water is murky, the cypress grows thick along Voodoo Bayou.
The Moss hangs low and the plants grow green, along Voodoo Bayou.
There is an old lady who lives in a shack, along Voodoo Bayou.
She traps alligators and catches crawfish, along Voodoo Bayou.
Her green-eyed cat has only one ear, along Voodoo Bayou.
When the sun goes down, you can hear strange sounds, along Voodoo Bayou.
And under the moon - swamp critters come out, along Voodoo Bayou.
It gets very spooky whenever it's dark, along Voodoo Bayou.
You can hear a splash occasionally, along Voodoo Bayou.
Possums hang low from branches up high, along Voodoo Bayou.
The frogs and the crickets - they sing their songs, along Voodoo Bayou.

Remember the lady who lived in the shack, along Voodoo Bayou.
One night she went out, and she never came back, along Voodoo Bayou.
Now the plants grow high - and the cat - she cries, along Voodoo Bayou.
The hours pass slow and a new day breaks, along Voodoo Bayou.
It can be kind of creepy and certainly crawly, along Voodoo Bayou.
But there's nothing, at all, like the beauty you'll see, along Voodoo Bayou.
