Backwater Blues |
When it rained five days |
And the skies turned dark at night |
When it rained five days |
And the skies turned dark at night |
There was trouble takin' place |
In the lowland at night |
I woke up this mornin' |
Couldn’t even get out of my door |
I woke up this mornin' |
Couldn’t even get out of my door |
Enough trouble to make a poor woman |
Wonder where she’s gonna go They rowed a little boat |
About five miles across the farm |
Said they rowed a little boat |
About five miles across the farm |
I packed up all of my clothes, trowed them in And they rowed me along |
Where it thundered and lightnin' |
And the wind began to blow |
Said it thundered and lightnin' |
And the wind began to blow |
There was thousands of people |
They had no place to go |
I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill |
I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill |
I looked down on the house |
Where I used to live |
Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Cause my house fell down |
And I can’t live there no more |
Ooh, I can’t live there no more |
Ooh, I can’t live there no more |
There ain’t no place for a poor woman to go |
