Southern Flood |
| Early early one morning, water was comin' in my door |
| Early one morning, water was comin' in my door |
| It was the old high (?) river, tellin' us to get ready and go |
| It was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' wind |
| It was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' wind |
| If I get away this time, I will never come here again |
| Hey my baby was cryin', I didn’t have a thing to eat |
| Hey hey hey, I didn’t have a thing to eat |
| Hey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the street |
| I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren’t no boats around |
| Hey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren’t no boats around |
| Hey that looks like people, I’ve gotta stay right here and drown |
| Hey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the stream |
| Hey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the stream |
| It was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream |
