Now one time I had this little ol' band back home A rock and roll band And we was going to play this job one night And it weren't too far away so we was walking But we came upon a long dark stretch of woods Had an old river running through it And an old wooden bridge across the river Well just as I was about to step upon the bridge Out stepped the troll A whole mighty troll
And he said: Hey looks like you all are going to play somewhere And I said: Yes sir Cause you always wanna say yes sir to a troll He said: I hate to mess up your boys job But I sure could dig hearing ya'all play a little bit I said: Man we can't just plug up And play it right here upon the bridge He said: Why? And I go: Cause ... But the troll said: Play! That's what we did ...
Well the wind was howling at the night And the moon was covered up with clouds I was walking cross a bridge on a dirt road When I heard a troll growl He said don't you go walking cross my bridge I am gonna make it tough on you I am gonna give you swamp fever You'll be wondering if you're you Yeah you know you got to pay the toll Cause even trolls love rock and roll
Uh it will keep you up all night Drinking and carrying on Getting it to the swamp music Get it on - Get it on Yeah you know you got to pay my toll Cause even trolls love rock and roll Yeah
But the troll said: Hey! He said you boys just ain't getting it He said would you mind if I borrowed that old guitar? And showed you all a lick Since we never heard a troll play we let him have it And he goes like this ...
I said: Damn troll! Yeah you know you got to pay the toll Cause even trolls love rock and roll Wow
Would you mind if I had my guitar back? And the troll said: Why?
