Dm Dm Dm Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow
G Dm
Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou
Dm
The old bayou
Dm
There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine
Dm G Dm
Wearing hand me down clothes, drinking homemade wine
G
No one ever knew who her daddy was
Dm
The people down here say it's all because
[Chorus]
G
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
A C Dm
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake
[Verse 2]
Dm
There's a city boy across the county line
G Dm
Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine
Dm
Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies
G Dm
But he found out different when he looked in her eyes
G
Well he tried to run away but she had control
Dm
He's finding out now what everybody knows
G
He knew it was over when she started to shake
A C Dm
Now there's one more soul down on Voodoo Lake
Dm
There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn
G C Dm
A chill in the air, something wrong
Dm
When a shadow crosses the ground
G C
Those long lost souls never make a sound
G
You'd think by now they'd realize
Dm
She'll never break her bayou ties
[Chorus]
G
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
A C Dm
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake
[Outro]
Dm
Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake
Dm
Daughter of the Devil, sister of a snake
Dm
Voodoo Lake
Dm
Down on Voodoo Lake, Down on Voodoo Lake
Dm
You can see her down on Voodoo Lake

Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow
Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou
The old bayou
There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine
Wearing hand me down clothes, drinking homemade wine
No one ever knew who her daddy was
The people down here say it's all because
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
The keeper of souls down on Voodoo Lake
There's a city boy across the county line
Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine
Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies
But he found out different when he looked in her eyes
Well he tried to run away but she had control
He's findin' out now what everybody knows
He knew it was over when she started to shake
Now there's one more soul down on Voodoo Lake
There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn
A chill in the air, something wrong
When a shadow crosses the ground
Those long lost souls never make a sound
You'd think by now they'd realize
She'll never break her bayou ties
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
The keeper of souls down on Voodoo Lake
Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake
Daughter of the devil, sister of a snake
Voodoo Lake
Down on Voodoo Lake, down on Voodoo Lake
You can see her down on Voodoo Lake
