| I don’t know, but I’ve been told,
|
| Down by the banks, there is buried gold.
|
| Many people go down, to try their luck,
|
| But not as many ever come back up.
|
| If you tell anybody they’ll say I don’t care,
|
| What happens in that swamp’s got to stay down there.
|
| Black Swamp Creek,
|
| Dirty water and a double dog dare,
|
| In the dead of night,
|
| What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
|
| Black Swamp Creek.
|
| Standing on the hill and looking down,
|
| Flood waters rising up into the town,
|
| No use paying for what we’ve done,
|
| Better grab what you can and run, run, run.
|
| Black Swamp Creek,
|
| Dirty water and a double dog dare,
|
| In the dead of night,
|
| What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
|
| What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
|
| Black Swamp Creek.
|
| I don’t know, but I’ve been told,
|
| Down by the banks, there is buried gold.
