[D]Black water Hattie lived [C]back in the swamp
Where the [G]strange green reptiles [D]crawl
[D]Snakes hang thick from the [C]cypress trees
Like [G]sausage on a smokehouse [D]wall
Where the [D]swamp is alive with a [C]thousand eyes
An all of them watching [G]you
Stay [D]off the track to [C]Hatties Shack
In the [G]back of the Black Ba[D]you

[D]Way up the road from [C]Hatties Shack
Lies a [G]sleepy little Okeecho[F]bee [D]town
[D]Talk of swamp witch [C]Hattie lock you
[G]In when the sun [F]go [D]down
[D]Rumors of what shed done, [G]rumors of what shed do
Kept [D]folks off the track of [C]Hatties shack
In the [G]back of the Black [F]Ba[D]you

One day brought the rain and the rain stayed on
And the swamp water overflowed
Skeeters and the fever grabbed the town like a fist
Doctor Jackson was the first to go
Some say the plague was-a brought by Hattie, there was talk of a hangin too
But the talk got shackled by the howls and the cackles

Early one morn tween dark and dawn
When shadows filled the sky
There came an unseen caller
On a town where road run dry
Youd swear there was found a big black round, vat full of gurgling brew
Whispering sounds as the folk gathered round
It came from the Black Bayou

There aint much pride when youre trapped inside
A slowly sinkin ship
Scooped up the liquid deep and green
And the whole town took a sip
Fever went away and the very next day the skies again were blue
Lets thank old Hattie for savin our town
Well fetch her from the Black Bayou

Party of ten of the towns best men
headed for Hatties Shack
Said Swamp Witch magic was useful and good
And theyre gonna bring Hattie back
Never found Hattie and they never found the shack
Never made the trip back in
There was a parchment note they found tacked to a stump
Said dont come lookin again

------------- Swamp Witch Hattie

Black Water Hattie live back in the Swamp where the strange green reptiles crawl The snakes hang thick from the Cyprus trees like sausage on a smokehouse wall Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes - and all of them watching you Stay off the track of Hattie's shack in the back of the Black Bayou Way up the road from Hattie's shack lies a sleepy little Okeechobee town Talk of Swamp Witch Hattie lock you in when the sun go down Rumors of what she'd done and rumors of what she'd do Kept folks off the track of Hattie's shack in the back of the Black Bayou One day brought the rain - the rain stayed on and the swamp water overflowed Skeeters and the fever grabbed the town like a fist - Doc Jackson was the first to go Some said the plague was brought by Hattie, there was talk of a hanging, too But, the talk got shackled by the howls and the cackles from the bowels of the Black Bayou Early one morn 'tween dark and dawn when shadows filled the sky There came an unseen caller on a town where hope run dry In the square there was found a big, black round vat full of gurglin' brew Whispering sounds as the folk gathered round - it came from the Black Bayou There ain't much pride when you're trapped inside a slowly sinking ship Scooped up the liquid, deep and green, and the whole town took a sip Fever went away and the very next day the skies again were blue "Let's thank old Hattie for savin' our town, we'll fetch her from the Black Bayou" A party of ten of the town's best men headed for Hattie's shack Said Swamp Witch magic was useful and good and they gonna bring Hattie back They never found Hattie and they never found the shack and they never made a trip back in 'cause a parchment note they found tacked to a stump said, "Don't come lookin' again"

Wicked Old Witch

"Wicked Old Witch" is the ninth track of Deja Vu All Over Again , the seventh solo album of John Fogerty. The collection of songs was released in September 2004. It reached #23 in the USA and #1 in Sweden.

Fogerty returns to backwoods and takes listeners "way back in the swamp" in "Wicked Old Witch" which starts with an eerie banjo intro. The swamp rocker right from Fogerty's comfort zone was again inspired by his baby daughter’s love for her Wizard of Oz DVD. They were watching it like three times each day, and she was just fascinated by the Wicked Witch ( Interview with John Fogerty , The Washington Times, November 11th, 2004).

Vocals, guitars, banjo, percussion, "spooky" keyboard: John Fogerty

Drums: Kenny Aronoff

Bass: David Santos

"Wicked Old Witch" was also released as a promotional CD single in the USA in 2005.

Fogerty didn't play "Wicked Old Witch" too many times during the Deja Vu All Over Again Tour . He delivered it in less than one dozen concerts in North America in November and December 2004 and in Europe next March. Concert audience witnessed the world premiere at Fox Theatre in Bakersfield, California, on November 30th.

The banjo intro was not included in the concerts.

"But Fogerty is really back in his element on "Wicked Old Witch," which stirs his swampy guitar sound into a brew just as potent as "Green River." After all these years, the singer is still at his best when he sticks close to his roots." -Jim Abbott, The Orlando Sentinel , September 17th, 2004.

"You get some very very generic, but funny swamp rock ('Wicked Old Witch'), with Fogerty spookily, but not too seriously threatening the common man with the involvement of female incarnations of the Devil's servants ---." - George Starostin .

"Fogerty seems to parody himself on this track. The music is effective swamp rock with guitar bursts, quivering runs, and hard-strummed chords. --- However, the song fails lyrically and vocally. He delivers the vocals with a grin and without any sense of intimadation, urgency, or mystery as he does on his best swamp rock. At times, he places an echo on his voice and elsewhere he attempts a sinister laugh - heavy-handed techniques. He sings, too high in the mix, about a "swamp witch" who lives in a haunted house, flies on a broomstick, and frightens sinners and gunslingers. The lyrics resemble a trite Halloween novelty song or a number on a Disney soundtrack." -Thomas M. Kitts, John Fogerty: An American Son, 2015.

"For me this is the best song from Deja Vu album. There are some things: like in the middle solo: it goes down, not up like so many other JF solos."

"After Born On the Bayou, it is John's best swamp song. Love the guitar work and I even dubbed my own extended version for my listening pleasure."

"This song ranks right up there with the best of CCR. I just wish he would have really jammed on it. It could have been twice as long as it was."

"Good lyrics, it works."

The chord progression throughout the song follows a simple pattern, allowing for easy strumming and singing along. The swamp witch chords contribute to the overall eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the song, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the lyrics. Overall, the swamp witch chords help create a unique and memorable musical experience for the listener.

I was really disappointed with "Swamp witch chords". The song lacked any depth or originality, and the lyrics were overly simplistic. The melody was forgettable, and it felt like a cheap attempt to replicate a popular genre. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable and unimpressive song.

I didn't enjoy "Swamp witch chords" as much as I hoped I would. The vocals were lacking, and the singer's tone was grating to my ears. The instrumentation was repetitive and lacked any sort of creativity. I felt like I had heard this song a thousand times before, and there was nothing unique or memorable about it.

"Swamp witch chords" was a letdown for me. The lyrics were predictable and cliché, and the artist didn't bring anything new to the table. The production quality was subpar, and it felt like a rushed and unfinished song. I was hoping for something more original and interesting, but unfortunately, this song didn't deliver on that front.

- Emily Johnson - 1 star

I have to say, I really did not enjoy "Swamp witch chords". The melody was repetitive and uninteresting, and the overall composition felt disjointed. The vocals were lacking emotion and seemed forced. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this song, but it fell short in every aspect for me.
