[Intro] Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm [Verse 1]
Dm
Way down yonder you can hear the wind blow

                                          G      Dm
Through the tall grass growing in the old bayou

Dm
The old bayou

Dm
There's a dark haired woman that looks so fine

Dm                                     G             Dm
Wearing hand me down clothes, drinking homemade wine

G
No one ever knew who her daddy was

    Dm
The people down here say it's all because
[Chorus]
          G
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake

    A                       C           Dm
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake
[Verse 2]
Dm
There's a city boy across the county line

                                           G    Dm
Came looking for the legend of the girl so fine

Dm
Well the stories that he heard, well they had to be lies

                                             G        Dm
But he found out different when he looked in her eyes

        G
Well he tried to run away but she had control

     Dm
He's finding out now what everybody knows

   G
He knew it was over when she started to shake

            A                     C           Dm
Now there's one more soul down on Voodoo Lake

Dm
There's an eerie silence at the break of dawn

  G                 C               Dm
A chill in the air, something wrong

Dm
When a shadow crosses the ground

      G                     C
Those long lost souls never make a sound

      G
You'd think by now they'd realize

Dm
She'll never break her bayou ties
[Chorus]
          G
She's the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake

    A                       C           Dm
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake
[Outro]
Dm
Voodoo Lake, Voodoo Lake

Dm
Daughter of the Devil, sister of a snake

Dm
Voodoo Lake

Dm
Down on Voodoo Lake, Down on Voodoo Lake

Dm
You can see her down on Voodoo Lake
