Verse 1
GFolks Just Saw An Old Broke Dam,
CSmokestack, Rust, AndG Stone.

But To A Kid With An Old Zebco,
It Was A DWorld All Its Own.
GThat Spillway Sang Both Night And Day,
Like It CKnew Each Fisherman'sG Name.

Every Trip With Papa There...
Was DBetter Than AnyG Game.

Chorus
CDown At The Old Dam,
Where The GWhitewater Kissed The Seam.
DDown At The Old Dam,
Where GNothing Was What It Seemed.
CPirates Lived Around The Bend...
HellGgrammites Were Contraband...
If DYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd CNever Leave ThatG Dam.

Verse 2
GWe'd Ease Across That Rusty Beam,
With The CRiver DownG Below.

One Hand On The Fence Held Tight,
One DHoping Not To Go.
We'd GClimb Out On That Busted Wall,
Where The CBiggest Bass AllG Fed.

"If Granny Ever Finds Us Here..."
"She'll DTan Us Both," HeG Said.

Chorus
CDown At The Old Dam,
Where The GWhitewater Kissed The Seam.
DDown At The Old Dam,
Where GNothing Was What It Seemed.

HellGgrammites Were Contraband...
If DYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd CNever Leave ThatG Dam.

Verse 3
GHellgrammites In A Tin Can,
CUgly As A Mud FenceG Rail.

Papa Said, "That's Bass Filet..."
I DNever Could Quite Tell.
A GSplit Shot Pinched Above The Hook,
"Now CDrift It Through ThatG Seam."

"Those Hornheads Keep The Bass Awake..."
"That's DWhy They NeverG Eat," He'd Grin.

Bridge
EmPapa Could Spin A Story
Like NoCbody I've Ever Known.
GEvery Bend Held A Mystery...
Every DRock Could Hide Old Gold.
EmOne Day Pirates Crossed This Stream...
Or At CLeast That's What He'dG Claim.

Funny How I Searched The Rocks...
Every DSingle Time WeG Came.

Final Chorus
CDown At The Old Dam,
Where The GWhitewater Kissed The Seam.

HellGgrammites Were Contraband...
If DYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd CNever Leave ThatG Dam.
If DYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd CNever Leave ThatG Dam.
