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
