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

[Verse]
Dm F
Down on the bayous of Lousiana,
C Dm A#
Where the swamp moss grows on the back of your hand.
Dm F
My mama lives alone in a one-room shack-
C Am Dm
Her boy went huntin' but he never came back
[Chorus]
F C
The Parlangua's the swamp boogie man
Dm A# F
Half alligator and the other half man.
Am A#
Son don't go when you hear the call:
Dm Am Dm
Of the swamp water booger, the Parlangua.
