[Intro]
He was raised in the swamp
In back of a slough
He grew up eatin' rattlesnake meat
Drinkin' homemade brew
Now, folks here about call him Gator
And everybody knows him well
Meanest man to ever hit the swamp
Folks swear he come straight outta hell

[Verse 1]
Well, Gator McKlusky's 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
Rot gut whiskey
While he's makin' that mash, he watches, and he looks
Ol' Gator he knows that swamp like a book
Something out there movin', Gator, whadda ya see?
Ain't nothin' but the snakes and the gators and me

[Chorus]
Everything's okey dokey in the Okefenokee
That sheriff ain't snoopin' around
So cook that moonshine down till 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 alone messin' around in here
[Verse 2]
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 him 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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Gator's in the swamp, Sheriff, go get him if you can
Careful, Sheriff, don't let that Gator bite you on your gonads
