G Bm Em Em7 C Am7 G
[Verse]
G Bm Em Em7
I was born down in the country
C Am7 G
Down where the cotton grows
G Bm Em Em7
Turnin' off the main highway
C Am7 G
Goin' down that country road
G Bm Em Em7
There's a place down in the country
C Am7 G
Where the pine trees grow so tall
G Bm Em Em7
Walk across that old log bridge
C Am7 G
Stretching 'cross Black River Swamp
[Verse]
G Bm Em Em7
I can hear them bullfrogs croaking
C Am7 G
In the blackness of the night
G Bm Em Em7
Calling me back to my childhood
C Am7 G
Down here in Black River Swamp
G Bm Em Em7
Saw my name carved on a big oak tree
C Am7 G
Down there by the fishing hole
G Bm Em Em7
And the smell of old Black River
C Am7 G
Where the waters are deep and cold
G Bm Em Em7
I can hear the hound dogs howlin'
C Am7 G
Chasin' that old fox where I used to roam
G Bm Em Em7
Down there in the country
C Am7 G
Callin' me to Black River Swamp
G Bm Em Em7 C Am7 G
