Devil with Long Legs

[Verse] There’s a critter in the holler, folks say he ain’t right, With legs like stilts and a beak that strikes at night. Skinny as a rail with them chicken arms so lean, Ain’t no one safe from this creepy country fiend. [Verse 2] He wanders ‘round the cornfields where the shadows grow, Full moon’s his beacon, gives off an eerie glow. Farmers packin’ shotguns, they ain’t gettin’ no sleep, Keepin' watch for the Devil with legs ten feet deep. [Chorus] Oh, Devil with long legs, spookin’ the night, Stealin' dreams and givin' us a fright. Dance in the moonlight, you hellish beast, In the heart of the country, you’re the midnight feast. [Verse 3] Old man Johnson saw him out by the barn, Swore he heard a crow cackle just past dawn. Battered and broken, folks say he lost his mind, Funny how these stories start on moonshine. [Bridge] Kids tell tall tales ‘round the campfire bright, About the beast who comes out at night. Their daddy says “Hush now, don’t you fret, Just another tale, ain't seen him yet.” [Chorus] Oh, Devil with long legs, spookin’ the night, Stealin' dreams and givin' us a fright. Dance in the moonlight, you hellish beast, In the heart of the country, you’re the midnight feast.
