| Backwater rising |
| Southern peoples can’t make no time |
| I said, backwater rising |
| Southern peoples can’t make no time |
| And I can’t get no hearing |
| From that Memphis girl of mine |
| Water in Arkansas |
| People screaming in Tennessee |
| Oh, people screaming in Tennessee |
| If I don’t leave Memphis |
| Backwater spill all over poor me |
| People, since its raining |
| It has been for nights and days |
| People, since its raining |
| Has been for nights and days |
| Thousands people stands on the hill |
| Looking down were they used to stay |
| Children stand there screaming: |
| Mama, we ain’t got no home |
| Oh, mama we ain’t got no home |
| Papa says to the children |
| «Backwater left us all alone» |
| Backwater rising |
| Come in my windows and door |
| The backwater rising |
| Come in my windows and door |
| I leave with a prayer in my heart |
| Backwater won’t rise no more |
