Lyrics Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Floyd

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
