I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong
B A B
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone
B D A B
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry
B A B
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye
E B
That's why I'm down on the bottom
D A B
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow
E B
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind
A E B D A B A E B
And get back up, is on the bottom
B D A B
Got friends in the world outside but none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
B A B
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
B D A B
Worked real hard most of his life till the pushin' came to shove
B A B
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above
E B
That's why he's down at the bottom
D A B
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
E B
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some piece of mind
A E B
And get back up, is on the bottom
A E B
I can get back up here on the bottom
A E B
On the Natchez river bottom
