The Legend of Julia Brown

One day I’m gonna die

I’ll take y’all with me

You can put me in the ground

But the storm will swell, you’ll see

You can put me in a coffin

Throw me in a ditch

But I will rise again

I’m the Louisiana swamp witch

Nothing will stand

The island will be a grave

Sinking in the swamp

No souls will be saved

You can put me in a coffin

Throw me in a ditch

But I will rise again

I’m the Louisiana swamp witch

I’ll bring the wind and the rain

I’ll bring suffering and pain

I’m gonna tear your houses down

And wash away this town

One day I’m gonna die

I’ll take y’all with me

If only you’d listened

The truth could’ve set you free

You can burn me at the stake

And throw me in that ditch

But I will rise again

I’m the Louisiana swamp witch

I’ll bring the wind and the rain (beware the swamp witch)

I’ll bring suffering and pain (beware the swamp witch)

I’m gonna tear your houses down

And wash away this town

I’ll bring the wind and the rain (beware the swamp witch)

I’ll bring suffering and pain (beware the swamp witch)

I’m gonna tear your houses down

And wash away this town
