The Ballad Of Gator Mcklusky

Jerry Reed


He was raised in the swamp

In the back of a slough

He grew up eatin' rattlesnake meat

And drinkin' homemade brew

Now folks here about call him Gator

And everybody knows him well

Meanest man ever to hit the swamp

Folks swear he come straight outta hell


Well Gator Mcklusky sittin' on a stump

Hammer pulled back on a twelve gauge pump

Watchin' that swamp lookin' out for the law

While he make the best corn liquor you ever saw


(Rock gut whiskey...)


While he's makin' that mash he watches and he looks

Old Gator he knows that swamp like a book

Somethin' out there movin' Gator whaddaya see

Ain't nothin' but the snakes and the gators and me


Everything's okey-dokey in the Okefenokee

That sheriff ain't snoopin' around

So cook that moonshine down

'Til it's good and clear

Everything's okey-dokey in the Okefenokee

That sheriff he'd soon mess around with the devil

Than to get his self long messin' around in here


One day he was cookin' some mash he was almost done

When they spotted the law and they had to run

So he headed for the swamp and they followed him in

But the law might as well been a-chasin' the wind


(Look out for that snake, sheriff...)


Well they chased on back through the muck and the slime

To the back of that swamp where the sun don't shine

But the law won't never catch Gator my friend

'Cause he knows that swamp like the back of his hand


Watch out boys old smokey's in the Okefenokee

The sheriff's out there snoopin' around

So shut that business down

And let's disappear

Look out boys old smokey's in the Okefenokee

But that sheriff he's really gonna catch the devil

If he keeps on snoopin' around in here


(Gator's in the swamp, sheriff...)

(Go get him...)

(If you can...)


(Careful, sheriff...)

(Don't let that gator bite you on your gonads...)
