Backwater Blues |
| It rained five days |
| The sky has turned black as night |
| Oh, it rained five days |
| And the sky has turned black as night |
| And there’s trouble takin' place |
| Way down in the lowlands tonight |
| I woke up this mornin' |
| And I couldn’t get out of my front door |
| I woke up this mornin' |
| And I couldn’t get out of my front door |
| It was so much trouble |
| Make a poor man wonder where he wanna go |
| They rowed a little boat |
| About five miles 'cross the pond |
| They rowed a little boat |
| About five miles 'cross the pond |
| I packed up all of my things and threw 'em in |
| Boys and the boat rowed along |
| I climbed up on the high lonely hill |
| Oh, I climbed up on the high oh, lonely hill |
| And I looked down at the house |
| Baby, where I used to live |
| Backwater blues caused me |
| To pack my things and go |
| The backwater blues caused me |
| To pack my things and go |
| 'Cause my house fell down |
| And I can’t live there no more |
| Yeah, when it’s thunderin' and lightnin' |
| And the rain begin to pour |
| When it’s thunderin' and lightnin' |
| And the wind begin to blow |
| There are so many poor people |
| That didn’t have no place to go |
