Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler 
Made moonshine so he could make a dollar 
Six feet tall, dressed in overalls 
And wore himself a long gray beard 

People say Floyd came to town one day 
But two law dogs got in his way 
Floyd never hurt no one in his life 
But they never came back this way 
No, they never came back this way 

And the people say... 
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan 
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone 
And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' 
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye 

The G-men came out to track him down 
But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned 
They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing 
How how how how how 

And the people say... 
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan 
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone 
And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' 
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye 

Yeah the souls are they were cryin' 
Yeah the creeper he was creepin' 

Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors 
All they could say is he was eaten by a gator 
The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing 
How how how how how 

And the soul said... 
Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan 
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone 
Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone 
There's a full moon now 
The moon was shinin' bright singing 
Aye aye aye aye aye
