BLACK RIVER JAMBOREE
©Gary Bowman

Goin’ down to the river, It’s a weekend getaway
Five days of work, You got two short days to play
Pack up the ’56 Ford, Load up the family
Take a country road, It’s a Black River Jamboree

Crawdaddies scooting, They got the happy feet
Snapping their claws, To the river beat

Sun getting high, Let’s go for a float
You take a raft, brother, I’m gonna grab a boat
Snappin’ Turtle, Baskin’ in the mid-day sun
Feel the rhythm of the river, We’re all having fun

Papa’s going fishing, Mama’s going fishing, too
Catfish a-jumping, What a hullabaloo!

Sun sinkin’ low, Full moon on the rise
Children all runnin’, Chasin’ fireflies
Campfire crackles, Sparks spittin’ at the sky
Cliff shadows dancing, On the other side

Bullfrogs singin’, Three-part harmony
Campin’ under the stars, It’s a Black River Jamboree

Goin’ down to the river, It’s a weekend getaway
Five days of work, Two short days to play
Pack up the ’56 Ford, Load up the family
Take a country road, It’s a Black River Jamboree
