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 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 (I'm) 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
