Black River Swamp Lyrics - 3-track Shack - Link Wray

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
