It literally feels like you’re sitting around the campfire at the beginning of a horror movie. 'negro dog' 'red light' house 4-H Club 10th Cavalry Regiment 50th anniversary 60th anniversary 100th anniversary 135th Regiment 500 block 1619 A.M.E. That’s right, this song is a good ole fashion ghost story. The change paid off in 1979 when the single The audience for Southern rock was evaporating, so he refashioned the band as a They. The music video was directed by Larry Boothby and premiered in late 1989.Catahoula got up on Sunday morning Made some coffee and had him a cup Then he walked on out to the back of the house To get his pretty daughter up He went running in the room where the boys all slept Hollered, "Get up! Somethin' ain't right And I'm worried to death 'cause your darling little sister Didn't even come home last night." Johnny said, "Papa, don't be mad at me I sure hate to tell you this But I seen her in the town with Bobby Joe Green And I even seen her give him a kiss." "And I tried to get her to come on back But she told me to leave her alone She said they were getting married before the sun come up And she wasn't NEVER coming home. The song starts with our singer warning us not to go to Wooley Swamp at night because there are things that go bump in the night that will scare you, in particular, the ghost of Lucius Clay. The man blames a society that has forsaken God and as a result has become a lawless society, then reaffirms his support of the death penalty for the most severe crimes ("The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth/An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ").
Expressing frustration at a judicial system that he believes is too lenient with drug dealers, rapists and child abusers, he suggests severe forms of justice, ("Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope/I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope/I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down ") and allowing swamp animals such as alligators to eat criminals ("Just take them rascals out in the swamp/Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump/Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest "). The song is the lament of a self-proclaimed honest man, who expresses frustration at barely getting by despite making an honest living, while dishonest politicians and criminals are allowed to get away with anything. It was released in August 1989 as the lead single from their album of the same name.
