Song Lyrics
Made moonshine so he could make a dollar, yeah the souls are they were crying Lynyrd, they never came back this way
six feet tall
they sent in the hell hounds but they turned around singing
yeah the souls are they were crying
but two law dogs got in his way
Dressed in overalls, made moonshine so he could make a dollar Lynyrd, dressed in overalls
And the people say, but two law dogs got in his way Floyd, sheriff boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors
And wore himself a long gray beard, made moonshine so he could make a dollar
The g-men came out to track him down, they sent in the hell hounds but they turned around singing
The legend lives on but floyd he s at home singing, and wore himself a long gray beard, and the people say
Aye now that floyd is long gone, yeah the souls are they were crying Lynyrd, how how how how how
Aye hear the hound dogs moan, all they could say is he was eaten by a gator
Dressed in overalls, and the people say
they sent in the hell hounds but they turned around singing
How how how how how, and the people say
Yeah the souls are they were crying, all they could say is he was eaten by a gator, they sent in the hell hounds but they turned around singing
yeah the souls are they were crying
And wore himself a long gray beard, but the swamp was too deep, sheriff boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors
and wore himself a long gray beard
Made moonshine so he could make a dollar, people say floyd came to town one day
How how how how how, the g-men came out to track him down, aye now that floyd is long gone
yeah the creeper he was creeping
Sheriff boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors, the g-men came out to track him down, six feet tall
The g-men came out to track him down, floyd was a trapper way back in the holler
floyd was a trapper way back in the holler
All they could say is he was eaten by a gator, made moonshine so he could make a dollar, and wore himself a long gray beard
but they never came back this way
How how how how how, yeah the souls are they were crying
The g-men came out to track him down, yeah the souls are they were crying, all they could say is he was eaten by a gator
Yeah the creeper he was creeping, yeah the creeper he was creeping, people say floyd came to town one day
Six feet tall, floyd never hurt no one in his life
How how how how how, the g-men came out to track him down Floyd, and the people say
but two law dogs got in his way
yeah the souls are they were crying
Six feet tall, aye now that floyd is long gone, but the swamp was too deep
Floyd never hurt no one in his life, made moonshine so he could make a dollar, yeah the souls are they were crying
aye hear the hound dogs moan
They sent in the hell hounds but they turned around singing, but two law dogs got in his way, even one of them drowned
yeah the souls are they were crying
yeah the souls are they were crying
floyd never hurt no one in his life
People say floyd came to town one day, the legend lives on but floyd he s at home singing
but two law dogs got in his way
