Topic: A Jim Stafford song

Does any body out there remember an old song by Jim Stafford (the Spiders and Snakes guy) that is a narritive type song, that begins with a line about a Witch named Haddie that " lives back in the swamp where the strange green reptiles crawel. Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees like sausage on a smoke house wall " The song goes on to tell how the town folk are saved from the " fever " by drinking Haddie's Brew. The last line is something about a rock that says  " Don't Come Lookin' Again "
Can anybody help me with this one? Chords-Lyrics

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.
