Back Water Blues - Bessie Smith

When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night

When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night

Then trouble's taking place in the lowlands tonight

I woke up this morning can't even get out of my door

I woke up this morning can't even get out of my door

That's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder

Where she want to go

They rowed a little boat about five miles across the farm

They rowed a little boat about five miles across the farm

I packed all of my clothes throwed them in

And they rowed me along

When it thundered and lighteninged and the wind began to blow

When it thundered and lighteninged and the wind began to blow

There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go

And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill

And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill

And looked down on the house where I used to live

Back Water Blues done calls me to pack my things and go

Back Water Blues done calls me to pack my things and go

Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more

Mmm I can't move no more

TMmm I can't move no more

There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
