From the album Twenty.

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 home-made wine.
Home-made 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 in Voodoo Lake.
Voodoo Lake...

There's a city boy across the county line
Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine.
She's 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.
Right into her eyes..

Well he tried to run away but she had control.
He's finding out now what everybody knows.
He knew it was over when she started to shake,
Now there's one more soul down in Voodoo Lake.
Voodoo Lake...

There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn,
A chill in the air - somethings wrong.
When the 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.
The daughter of the devil,
The sister of a snake,
She's the keeper of the souls down in Voodoo Lake.
Voodoo Lake...
Voodoo Lake...
Daughter of the devil,
The sister of a snake,
Down in Voodoo Lake...

Down in Voodoo Lake...
Down in Voodoo Lake...
You can see her
Down in Voodoo Lake...
