High Water |
| Backwater at Blytheville, backed up all around |
| It was fifty families and children come to sink and drown |
| The water was rising up at my friend’s door |
| The man said to his women folk Lord we’d better go |
| The water was risin' got up in my bed |
| I thought I would take a trip, Lord, out on the big ice sled |
| Oh, I can hear, Lord, Lord, water upon my door |
| I couldn’t get no boats there, Marion City gone down |
| So high water was risin' our men sinkin down |
| It was fifty men and children come to sink and drown |
| Oh, Lordy, women and grown men drown |
| I couldn’t see nobody home and was no one to be found |
