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

Down on the bayous of Lousiana,

My mama lives alone in a one-room shack-

Her boy went huntin' but he never came back
[Chorus]

The Parlangua's the swamp boogie man

Half alligator and the other half man.
Bm C
Son don't go when you hear the call:
Em Bm Em
Of the swamp water booger, the Parlangua.
