Chorus Water bound and I can’t get home, Water bound and I can’t get home Water bound and I can’t get home, Way down in North Carolina 
Chickens are crowin’ in the old pine tree,(x3) Way down in North Carolina 
Say old man, I want your daughter,(x3) Way down in North Carolina 
Tell me boy, what you want her for,(x3) Way down in North Carolina 
To break my bread and share my water,(x3) Way down in North Carolina 
If you don’t let her go, we’re gonna run away,(x3) On back to North Carolina 
The old man’s mad, and I don’t care,(x3) As long as I get his daughter 
Get up Jenny, and let’s go home,(x3) Before the water rises
