Come down all you campers please sit and listen to me
The fire is hot tonight and this story needs
Listeners to follow it listeners to hear
So sit around the campfire and be struck with fear
The Blackwater Beast he haunts our dreams
They say he's made of sticks but I know he's made of teeth
I was a camper too you know all the way back when
Can't remember when that was oh yeah it was '77
Was a dewy night just like this when the monster came out
He hid in the trees just beyond where we could see
The Blackwater Beast he haunts our dreams
They say he's made of sticks but I know he's made of teeth
The Blackwater Beast he haunts our dreams
They say he's made of sticks but I know he's made of teeth
There was gnashing and thrashing my friend's senseless dancing
Made me stand still my friend fear had taken me
Once the monster put the fire out he shuffled close by
The last remaining the last to die
He said in a rocky voice: I'll see you again, young boy
I'll spare you again if you summon me so here's what you gotta do
Sing my song three times, and when you do
I'll come out and take them again, swear it's what I'll do
And if you don't, I'll come for you
Now here's the song, it's simple, even a baby could play
The Blackwater Beast he haunts our dreams
They say he's made of sticks but I know he's made of teeth
I'm sorry campers it's just my nasty curse
This beast is hungry I can't deny his thirst
I promised not to do it but you see he threatened me
This beast is a monster and I'm too scared to be a martyr
