Waterbound

Water bound and I can't get home
Water bound and I can't get home
Water bound and I can't get home
Way down in North Carolina

Chickens are crowin' in the old pine tree (x3)
Way down in North Carolina

Say old man, I want your daughter (x3)
Way down in North Carolina

Tell me boy, what you want her for (x3)
Way down in North Carolina

To break my bread and share my water (x3)
Way down in North Carolina

If you don't let her go, we're gonna run away (x3)
On back to North Carolina

The old man's mad, and I don't care (x3)
As long as I get his daughter

Get up Jenny, and let's go home (x3)
Before the water rises

Mike Seeger lyrics:

River's up and I can't get across (x3)
Down in North Carolina

Stay all night and don't go home (x3)
and stay with me till morning

Wake up darling lets go home (x3)
Before the water rises

Stay all night and don't go home (x3)
and stay with me till morning

Waterbound and I can't get home (x3)
Down in North Carolina

(x3)
Down in North Carolina

(x3)
Down in North Carolina

(x3)
Down in North Carolina

(x3)
Down in North Carolina

Other Lyrics:

Rained all night, and anything go (x3)
way down in North Carolina

Waterbound and I can't get home (x3)
way down in North Carolina

Puerto Rican Parade and I can't get home (x3)
right here on Manhattan Island

Juliani is a (hmm, hmm) Fascist (x3)
right here on Manhattan Island 

Space craft hovering just above (x3)
right here on Manhattan Island

Weekend up in Saratoga (x3)
lost my weekly wages

Christmas time, it was plastic snow (x3)
confetti, who could've ever known

I use Doctor Brawner's soap (x3)
and read every word on the label.

Hobbits, wizards, and trolls (x3)
I'm one of those guy's who likes ice fishing 
and never wants to grow up 
and plays Dungeons and Dragons every night.

We've been over, back and forth 
We've been over, back and forth 
For what its worth. 
The best Audience is in Manhattan Island.
