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