My grandaddy
Dug the Suwannee River
With a pocket knife
Hung the sun up by the moonlight
Had a hollowed out tree full of moonshine
Catfish callin' on a trot line
Lord, it sounds so good
It ain't honest
But I got a full pocket of folded cash
From a card game back at the shack
The dealer tried to get me
But I got him back
He chased me through the pines
I was running fast
You can bet that where I'm headed is the promised land
Back to the Suwannee Water Hole
Some folks say that this ain't winning
But I'm livin' high on the hog
You might start listenin'
When your high horse is slippin'
Wishin' for another country song
My ol' lady
Wears her crocodile slippers
And a Diamond ring
Got a hound dog called him swamp thing
Could tame an alligator with the way she sings
Lord, I love her so
Shakin' and a shiver
By the river
At the Suwannee water Hole
Some folks say that this ain't winning
But I'm livin' high on the hog
You might start listenin'
When your high horse is slippin'
Wishin' for another country song
My grandaddy's soul would be happy
If only he could know
That times are a changin'
Ain't much stayin'
But it ain't that way at my home
We're still
Front porch swingin'
Southern breeze singin'
Down at the Suwannee Water Hole
