Lyrics Pound It On Down - Greg Brown

Pound It On Down

Catfish ain’t bitin', water ain’t flowin',
River’s so low you can walk clean across.
I’m all through travelin', home’s where your hat is,
I ain’t got no hat, and I ain’t got no boss.
Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.
I loved some women more than I should have,
I loved some others less than was right.
Some loved me madly, and some done me badly,
I’m drinkin' one drink for each one tonight.
Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.
I got an old boat sets low in the water,
I built it myself out of riverbank junk.
When I am gone, throw my old bones in,
Cut the rope, kick the boat, buddy, I’m sunk.
Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground.
Pound it on down, pound it on down,
Pound it on down, deep in the ground
