Verse 1
DFolks Just Saw An Old Broke Dam,
GSmokestack, Rust, AndD Stone.

But To A Kid With An Old Zebco,
It Was A AWorld All Its Own.
DThat Spillway Sang Both Night And Day,
Like It GKnew Each Fisherman'sD Name.

Every Trip With Papa There...
Was ABetter Than AnyD Game.

Chorus
GDown At The Old Dam,
Where The DWhitewater Kissed The Seam.
ADown At The Old Dam,
Where DNothing Was What It Seemed.
GPirates Lived Around The Bend...
HellDgrammites Were Contraband...
If AYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd GNever Leave ThatD Dam.

Verse 2
DWe'd Ease Across That Rusty Beam,
With The GRiver DownD Below.

One Hand On The Fence Held Tight,
One AHoping Not To Go.
We'd DClimb Out On That Busted Wall,
Where The GBiggest Bass AllD Fed.

"If Granny Ever Finds Us Here..."
"She'll ATan Us Both," HeD Said.

Chorus
GDown At The Old Dam,

If AYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd GNever Leave ThatD Dam.

Verse 3
DHellgrammites In A Tin Can,
GUgly As A Mud FenceD Rail.

Papa Said, "That's Bass Filet..."
I ANever Could Quite Tell.
A DSplit Shot Pinched Above The Hook,
"Now GDrift It Through ThatD Seam."

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

Bridge
BmPapa Could Spin A Story
Like NoGbody I've Ever Known.
DEvery Bend Held A Mystery...
Every ARock Could Hide Old Gold.
BmOne Day Pirates Crossed This Stream...
Or At GLeast That's What He'dD Claim.

Funny How I Searched The Rocks...
Every ASingle Time WeD Came.

Final Chorus
GDown At The Old Dam,
Where The DWhitewater Kissed The Seam.

If AYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd GNever Leave ThatD Dam.
