Back Water Blues |
| It rained five days Lord and the clouds turned as dark as night |
| It rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as night |
| Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the |
| world to go |
| I got up one morning, poor me I couldn’t get even get out of my door |
| I got up one morning, poor me I couldn’t get even get out of my door |
| Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the |
| world to go |
| Now they rowed a little boat just about five miles across the farm |
| Yeah they rowed a little boat down about five miles across the farm |
| Lord I packed up all of my clothes and throwed them in and I declare they rowed |
| poor old Bill along |
| Then I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill |
| Yes I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill |
| Lord and all I could do was look down on the house baby where I used to live |
| Now it thundered and it lightnin’d, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow |
| Now it thundered and it lightnin’d, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow |
| Lord there was thousands and thousands of poor people at that time didn’t have |
| no place to go |
