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 |
