Backwater Blues |
| Well, it rained five days |
| And the skies turned dark as night |
| Well, it rained five days |
| And the skies turned dark as night |
| And trouble’s takin' place in the lowland that night |
| Well, it was thunderin', it was lightnin' |
| And the wind began to blow |
| Well, it was thunderin', it was lightnin' |
| And the wind began to blow |
| Yes, in blues and trouble |
| Makes a poor girl wonder where she wants to go Yes, they rolled a little ball |
| About five miles across the park |
| Yes, they rolled a little ball |
| About five miles across the park |
| Yes, I packed all my clothes |
| Then they rolled me all along |
| Yes, I wait and I stood |
| Upon some high old lonesome hill |
| Well, I wait and I stood |
| Upon some high old lonesome hill |
| Then I looked down on that old shack |
| That old shack where I used to live |
