The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp way back in Booger Woods.  
    C 
He never did do a lot of harm in the world, but he never did do no good.  
    D 
People didn't think too much of him, they all thought he acted funny.  
         C 
The old man didn't care about people anyway, all he cared about was his money. 
      D 
He'd stuff it alldown in mason jars and he'd bury it all around. 
        C 
And on certain nights if the moon was right he'd dig it up out of the ground. 
      D 
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and run his fingers through it.  
       C 
Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy oldman and that's all that there was to it.
