Verse 1
EFolks Just Saw An Old Broke Dam,
ASmokestack, Rust, AndE Stone.

But To A Kid With An Old Zebco,
It Was A BWorld All Its Own.
EThat Spillway Sang Both Night And Day,
Like It AKnew Each Fisherman'sE Name.

Every Trip With Papa There...
Was BBetter Than AnyE Game.

Chorus
ADown At The Old Dam,
Where The EWhitewater Kissed The Seam.
BDown At The Old Dam,
Where ENothing Was What It Seemed.
APirates Lived Around The Bend...
HellEgrammites Were Contraband...
If BYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd ANever Leave ThatE Dam.

Verse 2
EWe'd Ease Across That Rusty Beam,
With The ARiver DownE Below.

One Hand On The Fence Held Tight,
One BHoping Not To Go.
We'd EClimb Out On That Busted Wall,
Where The ABiggest Bass AllE Fed.

"If Granny Ever Finds Us Here..."
"She'll BTan Us Both," HeE Said.

Chorus
ADown At The Old Dam,
Where The EWhitewater Kissed The Seam.

HellEgrammites Were Contraband...
If BYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd ANever Leave ThatE Dam.

Verse 3
EHellgrammites In A Tin Can,
AUgly As A Mud FenceE Rail.

Papa Said, "That's Bass Filet..."
I BNever Could Quite Tell.
A ESplit Shot Pinched Above The Hook,
"Now ADrift It Through ThatE Seam."

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

Bridge
C#mPapa Could Spin A Story
Like NoAbody I've Ever Known.
EEvery Bend Held A Mystery...
Every BRock Could Hide Old Gold.
C#mOne Day Pirates Crossed This Stream...
Or At ALeast That's What He'dE Claim.

Funny How I Searched The Rocks...
Every BSingle Time WeE Came.

Final Chorus
ADown At The Old Dam,

If BYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd ANever Leave ThatE Dam.
If BYou Believed Half Papa Said...
You'd ANever Leave ThatE Dam.
