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' Songtextechasin' 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
