Tupelo (Backwater Blues) |
| Did ya read about the flood? |
| Happened long time ago |
| In Tupelo, Mississippi |
| There were thousands o' lives |
| Destroyed |
| It rained, it rained |
| Both night and day |
| The poor people was worried |
| Didn’t have no place to go |
| Could hear may people, cryin' «Lord, have mercy» |
| 'Cause You’re the only one that we can turn to" |
| Happened a long time ago |
| A little town |
| Way back in Mississippi |
| In Tupelo |
| There was women, and there was children |
| They were screamin' an' cryin' |
| Cryin', «Lord, have mercy |
| You’re the only one now, that we can turn to» |
| Way back down in Mississippi, a little country town |
| I know ya read about it |
| 'Cause I’ll never forget it |
| The mighty flood in Tupelo, Mississippi |
| Been years ago |
| Lord, have mercy |
| Wasn’t that a mighty time? |
| Tupelo’s gone |
