Lyrics
Mystery Walk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down in Louisiana back in the big bayou
There are paths that you don't cross
Places you don't go
So many have been lost there
Few if ever returned
There's so many eyes watchin´ you
Feel your back begin to burn
"Best forget what you thought you saw"
Said the big man with the law
He just laughed as he pushed back his hat
"Maybe it was just a dream
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
Better not fool with things you don't understand"
Said the big law man
I took a moonlight mystery walk
I can't forget what I thought I saw
Down in St. John Parish
on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain
There are things you're not meant to hear
Things you're not meant to say
When the panther screams at midnight
Stop and say a little prayer
When the drums pound in the distance
Every step you better beware
"Best forget what you thought you saw"
Said the big man with the law
He just laughed as he pushed back his hat
"Maybe it was just a dream
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
Better not fool with things you don't understand"
Said the big law man
I took a moonlight mystery walk
I can't forget what I thought I saw
