- I've been waiting to sing for you for a long time.

I'm home.

I didn't perform that much after becoming Swamp Dog because I was singing about fellowship.

Love the government, bad presidents.

And that wasn't something that was wisely accepted.

Hey you.

But I kept on doing it because I believed it by you.

And just because nobody else believes it doesn't bother me.

Well, wildlife runs free.

You could say that.

I let tell you what I see, being back is strange because Tide Water, as I knew it, I mean what I grew up with naturally is what I'm looking for.

And none of it's there.

But I love the progress that's been made in Norville, Portsmouth, new Newport, new Hampton.

This is something that I'm very happy about.

Houses don't like.

So alright, this would've been my house right here.

And all this was our backyard.

Up to about halfway, we had all them fruit trees.

Grapevines.

Boy could I have some fun?

Die.

Okay, that's the corner right there.

That's where I worked.

This is where I had the broadcast school, Maurice Ward.

And I started it.

There was not a lot going on, but there was enough going on when I performed.

I'm doing the same thing that I did 60 years ago.

Nothing's really changed.

It's just that more people appreciated than I thought.

And that's it.

We got a full house, a sellout show, and I'm thrilled.

We love you.

So there's a emotional picture out at the theaters called Swamp Dog gets his pool painted.

Now if you get a chance, go see it.

You're not gonna be disappointed.

You ain't gonna get your money back either if you don't.

1, 2, 3, 4 swap.

Dog gets his pool painted.

Tell the story of my life is centered around Swamp Dog guitar Shorty and Mood Star our lives together, along with our association with other musicians and artists.

Thank you.

I had to go to the bathroom, took eight years to make it.

I'll be here.

Love.

It's more than a documentary.

It's a darn good film.

I said Darn.

Anyway, it's a good time for me to shout out Molly Minard, Ryan Olson, Isaac Gayle, Johnny Knoxville, Verna Reed from Living Color.

Mike Judgey.

Tom Kinney.

Magnolia Film picked up the movie.

I Want People to come away feeling good about themselves because of the amount of my life that they see on the screen.

And there are people who say dumb stuff and bad stuff about me, but hell, they talked about Jesus too.

He said bad things about him.

So who am I?

Thank you.

If there's any, any women out there with an ugly man, raise your hand.

A ugly man would do anything for you.

Now you get somebody who thinks he's cuter than you.

You in trouble.

You in big trouble.

The Black Grass Album came about because I wanted to hear country music and black soul music fused together.

If you want live, the high life become ugly.

I found out that a lot of the instruments that were being played in country music were invented by blacks in Africa.

And I said, damn, they invented it is couldn't play it.

You know, most of the nobody can tell me what's right or wrong, black grass, because I invented it.

I Ain't Going If you want.

Live the high life ugly.

After I stopped worrying about what people thought of me, I found that my unhappiness came from me trying to please other people.

It was just that simple.

But it took so many years to find out, and I now know who Jerry Williams is and who Swamp Dog is.

I don't have to hide behind Swamp Dog anymore.

And to be out here touring at almost 83 just knocked out.

I'm overwhelmed.

It feels great, man.

I feel wanted.

I feel needed.

I feel loved.

This is one of the greater parts of my existence.

I've always wanted to do it to this extent.

And it's happened and I thank God and anybody else that didn't for this opportunity to be somebody before I leave, let's take him home.

Thank you.
