    Creek Cats

    by: Legendary Shack Shakers

    Hey people, oh, can't you hear that sound?
    Oh, people, people, can't you hear that sound?
    There's some no-good in the making
    And the creek cats are on the prowl, on the prowl
    When the whippoorwills cry
    It means you're already dead, dead
    When will the whippoorwills cry?
    You're already dead, you're already dead
    They get spooked into your house
    And now they're lighting on the post of your bed, post of your bed
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down, down, down
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down
    And now they're lighting on the post of your bed, post of your bed
    Oh, when the blue moon's high
    You know the creek waters flood
    Yeah, when the blue moon's high
    You know the creek waters flood
    Well, that's a sure sign of death
    When you can read it in the tracks in the mud, tracks in the mud
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down, down, down
    They'll bust your back door down
    They'll bust your back door down
