Lyrics

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
