Traditional
Waterbound
[Verse 1]
Chickens crowin' in an old pine tree
Chickens crowin' in an old pine tree
Chickens crowin' in an old pine tree
Down in North Carolina

[Chorus]
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina

[Verse 2]
River's up and I can't get across
River's up and I can't get across
River's up and I can't get across
Before the water rises

[Chorus]
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina

[Verse 3]
Stay all night and don't go in
Stay all night and don't go in
Stay all night and don't go in
Dance with me till mornin'
[Chorus]
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get homе
Waterbound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina

[Chorus]
Watеrbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Waterbound and I can't get home
Down in North Carolina
