Suwannee Water Hole

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
