Dm
Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow
                                      G     F  Dm
Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou
The old bayou
Dm
There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine
Wearing hand me down clothes,
          G        F  Dm
drinking homemade wine
homemade wine
 G
No one ever knew who her daddy was
     Dm
The people down here say it's all because

Chorus:
           G
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
     A                       C        Dm
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake

There's a city boy across the county line
Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine
Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies
But he found out different when he looked in her eyes
Well he tried to run away but she had control
He's finding out now what everybody knows
He knew it was over when she started to shake
Now there's one more soul down on Voodoo Lake
There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn
A chill in the air, something wrong
When a shadow crosses the ground
Those long lost souls never make a sound
You'd think by now they'd realize
She'll never break her bayou ties

Chorus

Dm
Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake
Daughter of the Devil, sister of a snake
Voodoo Lake
Down on Voodoo Lake, Down on Voodoo Lake
You can see her down on Voodoo Lake
