They tried to break my soul
They came and cut my tongue
I couldn't run away
My body paralyzed
They lied to take our soil
My name once strong
Someday the wrongs
They will come to realize
Watch out the boogeyman is coming
He's dressed in black
You can't hide from an evil holy man
Standing at your bed
Boogeyman
Boogeyman
I tried so hard
To keep my spirit strong
They came with strap in hands
To teach me wrong from right
They're gonna come and try to steal my ways
They're gonna come and try to cut my braids
They're gone try to hide all those graves
Like the old man used to say
Watch out the boogeyman is coming
He's dressed in black
You can't hide from an evil holy man
Standing at your bed
Watch out the boogeyman is coming
He's dressed in black
You can't hide from an evil holy man
Standing at your bed
Boogeyman
Boogeyman
They're gonna come and try to steal my ways
They're gonna come and try to cut my braids
They're gone try to hide all those graves
Like the old man used to say
