Not down through the hackberry woods to the shack where I live with my Mambo. Not now Pappys gone. No, heres where the old ways squat, where devils work heals and some say harms.That dont mean the big town dont visit though - white folks with their shirt sleeves, liquor stink, and nasty ways. More dark in them than even Mambo can hold off.But I got me a friend now, fierce and vengeful, and we got a powerful secret thats gonna change everything.
