There's so many good ones and the simplicity of how he tells the story is amazing. He stitches it together so effortlessly.

I have never been in the Florida swamp, but in Louisiana, and MS'sippi swamp, it's creepy during high water, fog, when it is cold, and after dark. We had a houseboat in southern Ms'sippi, Pearl River swamp for many years. I could swear that during high water that I could see something just below the rippling water and hear the water whispering, early in the morning and right at dark. It seemed like it was whispering about or to me. It could have been just knowing how dangerous rivers and swamp are tho.

I was 11 the first time I heard it (from my K-tel album) and it's stuck as one of my favorites ever since.

Cid B. Among those I first heard on K-tel albums were Monster Mash and Snoopy vs. The Red Baron.

ty very much

My wife & I were married in 1972(@19&20) sose we were Hippie Dippies!! We heard a lot of Jim Stafford in his break-out year of 1974. Neither one of us can now remember hearing "Swamp Witch" more than twice. Nice graphics/good vid, TY!! My wife hated "Cow Patti", only because she worked w/ a girl, that played it on constant replay😅😅!! Karma struck, again, when our oldest daughter began dating a bum on a moped. We referred to him as a MO-PAGAN!! And be danged if Karma didn't smack us again, w/ our grandson. But, there is hope for our gr-grandson, so far, he a good child.

Made a trip to Branson about 35 yrs ago to his theater, his show was 2 hours or so and i laughed so much my face hurt, absolutely fantastic entertainer

Nice job on the graphics! You done him proud I bet, thanks :)

The art work in this video is amazing, love it !

This is such a classic but never gets old. First heard this in the 70s. Then on and off over the years. Now you have it here. 1, hope it stays. 2 absolutely in love with the graphics. 3 thank you yt. And 4 thank you batlady2 for posting this classic. Yeaaaa I'm happy,happy happy.

I’ve heard this forever always sounds new

A haunting spooky song made infinitely better by an outstanding video.Thank you so much BatLady2....Youre a gem.
