SmokeHouse - Cadillac In The Swamp

Album: Cadillac In The Swamp, Buy Album: Lyrics: Ah now let me tell y’all something here Now now this ain’t no lie Y’all come on over here And let’s sit by the fire Way down south Where the beatles and cottonmouth breed I seen something down there y’all That took my breath away I saw a black Cadillac Cruising real slow Way down the swamps Where man dare go The windows went down slowly There set a chauffeur with no head Well I set there trembling y’all Never been so damned scared... (CHORUS) Whoa oh that Cadillac yeah Whoa oh down in the swamp Ah Lord Thick fog rolled in I could barely see the lights And that old ghost Cadillac y’all Faded into the night I ran home and told my daddy Just what I seen He reached for his knife people Never saw him look so damned mean He said look a here boy It was back in ’52 It was late one night Your mammy saw it too (CHORUS) well your mammy got so scared She packed up and moved away And she swore to the Lord She’d never come back to stay It was about three days later I went hunting that night And I found yo mama dead boy Tire tracks right across her back So my daddy grabbed his shotgun He said boy show me them tracks Now whatever you hear Just don’t look back (CHORUS) He went down them swamps With that old big thick hound About 20 minutes later That old hound began to sound Five shots rung out I was froze in my tracks And I thought about what daddy said y’all So I didn’t look back That old hound kept running With his tongue hung to the ground That old ghost Cadillac ya’ll No where to be found (CHORUS) I said hey daddy What happened to that old hound? He said that old Cadillac boy Done done road him down That Cadillac killed yo mammy And it’s going to get me So you get out of these swamps boy And set yourself free That ghost Cadillac You better hide That ghost Cadillac ya’ll Headless chauffeur inside That ghost Cadillac Patrolling them swamps That ghost Cadillac Blood stains in the trunk Have mercy Have mercy Yeah lord.

Additional personnel: Warren King (bass); Tamika Whitaker, April Whitaker, Anita Whitaker (background vocals). A swampy groove runs through the music. The song writing is superb and very humorous at times. Powerhouse harp playing and great musicianship all around. Hypnotizin’ Boogie Blues, that’s what it is. Very enjoyable and bluesy to the core. Don’s Tunes is about the music. It’s about the sound. It’s about the real thing.
