I went out late one night

Moon and the stars were shining bright

Storm come up and the trees came down

Tell your boys i was waterbound

Waterbound on a strangers' shore

River's rising to my door

Carried my home to the field below

Waterbound nowhere to go

Carve my name on an old barn wall

Noone would know i was there at all

Stable's dry on a winter's night

(you) turn your head you can see the night

Black ant crawling on an old box car

(it's) a rusty door and a fallen star

(ain't) got a dime in my nation sack

Waterbound and i can't get back

It's all gone and i won't be back

Don't believe me count my tracks

River's long and the river's wide

(i'll) meet you boys on the other side

(so) say my name and don't forget

The water still ain't got me yet

Nothing but i'm bound to roam

Waterbound and i can't get home
