I went to the black swamp village
Where strange people live
I saw a scrawny drunk old man
Who gave me a flask to drink
He started speakin' unusual
Sounded kinda of scared
He said listen to me carefully 'cause
I'll tell you something I never tell
I went to the cemetery
Where lies my dead wife
And believe me the graves were opened
And skulls and bones raised
They said hey ho (hey ho)
They said hey hey ho (hey hey ho)
They said hey hey hey hey
They were raised from the dead
Swingin' their bones outta hell
I hear hey ho (hey ho)
I hear hey hey ho (hey hey ho)
I hear hey hey hey
They were raised from the dead
Swingin' their bones outta hell
I tried to run I tried to hide
They re comin' after me
They grabbed my arms
They grabbed my feet
You're goin' nowhere until you sing
Hey ho (hey ho)
I hear hey hey ho (hey hey ho)
I hear hey hey hey
As loud as I could
But they wouldn't let me go
I left that old peculiar man
And his crippy yarn
I walked down the gravel road
And I heard voices from the misty black swamp
Hey ho (hey ho)
I hear hey hey ho (hey hey ho)
I hear hey hey hey
Whatever I hear
I get the hell away from here
