Blackwater blackwater
It's hard to see down under
All the sins are covered from town
Blackwater blackwater
Hold tight to your daughters
What's covered up in the deep deep down
Blackwater
Blackwater
The river cuts like a crooked vein
Ripping through the middle of our state
Preachers are working overtime
Mayor is pushing pills
Both sides of the river are ready to kill
Blackwater blackwater
It's hard to see down under
All the sins are covered from town
Blackwater blackwater
Hold tight to your daughters
What's covered up in the deep deep down
Blackwater
Ooooo blackwater
Blackwater
I put my code in the money machine
What came out smelled like gasoline
There is a fire on the hill
Downtown is in flames
Three perps in masks and they ain't ashamed
Blackwater blackwater
It's hard to see down under
All the sins are covered from town
Blackwater blackwater
Hold tight to your daughters
What's covered up in the deep deep down
Blackwater
Ooooo blackwater
Blackwater
The top of the river looks so peaceful
No one knows there's a cancer inside
When the glass is broken
Just below the ripple
That's where all the snakes will hide
Oooooo blackwater
Oooooo blackwater
Blackwater blackwater
It's hard to see down under
All the sins are covered from town
Blackwater blackwater
Hold tight to your daughters
What's covered up in the deep deep down
Blackwater
Ooooo blackwater
Blackwater
Oooooo blackwater
