Lyrics
I was born in the blackwater swamps ... down east in Caroline
with alligators and sweet potaters ... the beautiful long leaf pine.
Been living here for sixty years and loved it from the start
black water river and a blue eyed girl have always stole my heart.
Roll on black water roll on ...
Roll on black water roll on ...
Keep rolling til the day I'm gone!
Keep rolling til I'm dead and gone!
Instrumental
Scuppernong wine and home made shine ... the best in all the land
Pig pickings ... frog gigging and singing Skynrd with the band
Things haven't changed in 60 years and that's just fine by me
I got my old dog and my pick up truck ... but least I'm living free!
Roll on black water roll on ...
Roll on black water roll on ...
Keep rolling til the day I'm gone!
Keep rolling til I'm dead and gone!
Keep rolling til I'm dead and gone!
Instrumental
Roll on black water roll on ...
Roll on black water roll on ...
Keep rolling til the day I'm gone!
Keep rolling til I'm dead and gone!
