     E
I'm going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a 'coon
                 A
Well, I'm going down to the swamp
                                        E
Going to watch me a hound dog catch a 'coon
              B
You know the hound dog make-a music
A                               E
On a summer night under a full moon

Lord, fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
Lord, fetch my cane pole mama
Gonna catch a bream or maybe two
And when the hound dog start barking
Sounds like ol' Son House singing the blues

Chorus:
E
Hound dog sing that
Swamp, Swamp, Swamp, Swamp music
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
          B7				
When the hound dog starts singin',
A			 E
I ain't got them big ol' city blues.

Well, hey pretty mama
Lord, just take that city hike
Said go ahead pretty mama
Lord, just take your city hike
Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life

Chorus:
Singing that
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music
Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life
Well, I'd wanna live with the hound dogs
For the rest of my natural born life
