    D
The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp way back in Booger Woods.
    C
He never did do a lot of harm in the world, but he never did do no good.
    D
People didn't think too much of him, they all thought he acted funny.
         C
The old man didn't care about people anyway, all he cared about was his money.
      D
He'd stuff it alldown in mason jars and he'd bury it all around.
        C
And on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground.
      D
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it.
       C
Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy oldman and that's all that there was to it.
