Hoodoo Saints - The Rougarou (Official Lyric Video)

Mama told him to keep the fast. He laughed, ate his fill, and took his boat out under a still moon. Now something with yellow eyes walks the bayou, and his mama keeps the door barred and the lantern low. From the Hoodoo Saints album Delta Belle.

(Roo-gah-roo!) Hear the bayou moan Moon in my blood and the wolf in my bones Mama, bar the door, keep the lantern low Your boy came home somebody you don't know Now my hands turn claws when the moon comes round My skin goes grey and I run the ground I can smell your fear on the evenin' breeze Hear your heart beat loud through the cypress trees The old healer told me how to break the spell "Bite another man and you'll walk out of hell But he'll carry your hunger, he'll carry your chains And the swamp don't care who carries the pain" Roo-gah-roo! (Roo-gah-roo!) Hear the bayou moan Moon in my blood and the wolf in my bones Mama, bar the door, keep the lantern low Your boy came home somebody you don't know Fisherman alone on the levee Lantern swingin', eyes gettin' heavy I stood in the reeds with the hunger in my teeth And I let him go home So I keep to the dark where the gators sleep Where the moss hangs low and the water's deep If you hear a howl rollin' cross the bay That's a man who chose to stay away Roo-gah-roo! (Roo-gah-roo!) Hear the bayou moan Moon in my blood and the wolf in my bones Mama, bar the door, keep the lantern low I chose the dark so the curse won't grow (Roo-gah-roo... roo-gah-roo...) #HoodooSaints #Rougarou #SwampRock AI-assisted, human-directed.
