[Verse]
On my journeys of this land
I met an appalachian man
He tells me stories of the night

[Verse]
Tales of things you've never seen
Except in nightmares and dreams
And visitations of the other side

[Verse]
Say, don't go about yourself
On the appalachain trail
You don't know what you'll find

[Verse]
All kinds of folk-tall-tales
Creatures from the gates of hell
But if you stick with me you'll be just fine

[Verse]
He said "I've seen a thing or two"
"I know my way around the dark"
"Got a list of rules to go by"

[Verse]
When you're walking, walk with pride
Keep your weapon at your side
And if you see a creature don't look in its eyes
[Solo]

[Verse]
I'll never understand
That there appalachian man
I fear he's lost his mind

[Verse]
Swears his tales are true
But the moral dock it to
I can smell that he's been in the moonshine
I can smell that he's been in the moonshine
