Black River Swamp

I was born down in the country
 Down where the cotton grows
 Turnin' off the main highway
 Goin' down that country road
 There's a place down in the country
 Where the pine trees grow so tall
 Walk across that old log bridge
 Stretching 'cross Black River Swamp
 I can hear them bullfrogs croaking
 In the blackness of the night
 Calling me back to my childhood
 Down here in Black River Swamp
 Saw my name carved on a big oak tree
 Down there by the fishing hole
 And the smell of old Black River
 Where the waters are deep and cold
 I can hear the hound dogs howlin'
 Chasin' that old fox
 Where I used to roam
 Down there in the country
 Callin' me to Black River Swamp
 I can hear them hound dogs howlin'
 Chasin' that old fox
 Where I used to roam
 Down there in the country
 Callin' me to Black River Swamp
 I was born in the country
 Down where the cotton grows
 Turnin' off the main highway
 Goin' down that country road
 There's a place down in the country
 Where the pine trees grow so tall
 Go across that log bridge
 Stretching 'cross Black River Swamp
