my bones will break, walls will shake
black water, black water
my momma left me reckless and daddy left me crazy
black water, black water

well the devil came a rollin’
came a walking down the street
black water, black water
he’s knocking at my door gonna lift my soul from me
black water, black water

you can run, you can’t hide
i caught you at the cross road with a pistol by your side
you’ll find me working where the black crow flies
drink that black water boy, it’ll be your demise

well you know i’m guilty and i’m bound to pay the fine
black water, black water
he’s got one hand on his glass and the other on my spine
black water, black water

your time is up and you’re coming ‘long with me
you shook hands with the devil in the lonesome valley
you’ll find me working where the black crow flies
drink that black water boy, it’ll be your demise
