band back home
A rock and roll band
Now we was going to play this job
one night
And it weren't too far away
So we was walking
But we came upon a long black
stretch of woods
Had an old river running through it
And an old wooden bridge across the river
Well just as I was about to
step up on the bridge
Out stepped the troll
A whole mighty troll

He said why? I said cause

And that's what we did ...
Verse 3
Well the wind was howling at the night
And the moon was covered
up with clouds
Walking cross a bridge on a dirt road
When I heard a troll growl
He said don't you go walking
I will give you swamp fever
And you'll be wondering if you're you
