[Verse]
Bm D
Down in the bayous of Louisiana,
A Bm
Where the swamp moss grows on the back of your hand.
D
Papa set out from our one-room shack,
A Bm
Said he went fishin' but he never came back.
Bm D
And Mama said "Son, don't you ever go out
A Bm
To Leroux swamp when the sun goes down.
D
Creature down there called the Parlangua,
A Bm
He got your brother, now he's got your Pa.”
[Chorus]
D A
The Parlangua's the swamp boogie man
Bm G D
Half alligator and the other half man.
F#m G
Son don't go when you hear the call:
Bm F#m Bm
Of the swamp water booger, the Parlangua.
[Verse]
Bm D
I told my mama, "Gotta make things right,
A Bm
Going huntin' down in Leroux swamp tonight.
D
The stories that the old men told to me,
A Bm
You gotta stick it with a stick from a sweet gum tree."
Bm D
B whippoorwill cried and I prayed to God,
A Bm
Then I headed for the swamp in a cold gray fog.
Bm D
Hours passed, it was drizzling' rain,
A D
When I realized that I had lost my way.
[Chorus]
D A
The Parlangua's the swamp boogie man
Bm G D
Half alligator and the other half man.
F#m G
Son don't go when you hear the call:
Bm F#m Bm
Of the swamp water booger, the Parlangua.
[Verse]
Bm D
B chillin' fear inside of me
A Bm
As I whittled off a stick from a sweet gum tree.
Bm D
Spanish moss hanging all around,
A Bm
Stoppin' to listen at every sound.
F#m Bm
I stumbled and fell tangled up in vines,
D Bm
Fear and panic shootin' through my mind.
F#m Bm G
Tried to rise and then I heard him scream:
D F#m Bm
The Parlangua standin' over me.
[Instrumental]
