i went out late one night
moon and the stars were shining bright
storm come up and the trees came down
tell your boys i was waterbound

waterbound on a strangers' shore
river was rising to my door
carried my home to the fields below
waterbound nowhere to go

carved my name on an old barn wall
no one'd know i was there at all
stable's dry on a winter's night
you turn your head you can see the light

black ant crawling on an old box car
rusty door and a fallen star
got a dime in my nation sack
waterbound and i can't get back

it's all gone and i won't be back
don't believe me count my tracks
river's long and the river's wide
meet you boys on the other side

so say my name and don't forget
the water still ain't got me yet
nothing but i'm bound to roam
waterbound and i can't get home

12. Waterbound
(Powell) Why the hell did I want to do this? I should know that great songs won't get any better if I made a cover of them. You'll find Dirk Powell's version on Youtube, also Michael McGoldrick has a very lovely version. Check them to find out how this song should be done. -- Jore

The thing about covers is it gives listeners a chance to hear songs they've never heard before and makes then go listen the original. I got to the blues through listening to The Rolling Stones doing covers of Muddy waters and Jimmy Reed. Nothing to be ashamed of here - your sad voice suits this melancholy song very well --Davy
