I don't know, but I've been told,
Down by the banks, there is buried gold.
Many people go down, to try their luck,
But not as many ever come back up.
If you tell anybody they'll say I don't care,
What happens in that swamp's got to stay down there.
Black Swamp Creek,
Dirty water and a double dog dare,
In the dead of night,
What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
Black Swamp Creek.
Standing on the hill and looking down,
Flood waters rising up into the town,
No use paying for what we've done,
Better grab what you can and run, run, run.
Black Swamp Creek,
Dirty water and a double dog dare,
In the dead of night,
What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
What happens in the swamps got to stay there,
Black Swamp Creek.
I don't know, but I've been told,
Down by the banks, there is buried gold.
