I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong 
        B                 A                    B 
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone 
B                 D                      A              B 
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry 
B                        A                    B 
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye 
 
               E           B 
That's why I'm down on the bottom 
          D                       A                B 
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow 
          E                                 B 
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind 
             A   E          B       D  A  B  A  E  B 
And get back up,  is on the bottom 
 
 
    B                    D                A                    B 
Got friends in the world outside but none quite like ol' Cajun Joe 
   B                             A             B 
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow 
B                D                         A               B 
Worked real hard most of his life till the pushin' came to shove 
B                  A                         B 
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above 
 
CHORUS: 
 
                E           B 
That's why he's down at the bottom 
          D                       A                   B 
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low 
          E                                 B 
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some piece of mind 
             A   E          B 
And get back up,  is on the bottom 
 
               A  E            B 
I can get back up  here on the bottom 
       A      E       B 
On the Natchez  river bottom
