Flood Water Blues (Remastered) - Lonnie Johnson

Written by：Lonnie Johnson

It's been snowin' forty days and nights

Lakes and rivers begin to freeze

It's been snowin' forty days and nights

Rivers and lakes begin to freeze

Some places through my old hometown

Water's up above my knees

Storm begin risin' and the sun

Begin sinking down

Storm begin risin' the sun

Begin sinking down

I says mother and dad pack your trunk

We ain't safe here in this town

When it lightnin' my mind gets frightened

My nerves begin weakenin' down

When it lightnin' my mind gets frightened

My nerves begin weakenin' down

And the shack where

We was livin' begin movin' 'round

Women and children were screamin' sayin'

Mama why must we go

Women and children were screamin' sayin'

Lord where must we go

The floodwater have broke the levees

And we ain't safe here no more

And begin cloud as dark as midnight

Keep raining all the time

I say oh I wonder

Why the sun don't ever shine

And the way it keeps rainin'

It's drivin' me out my mind
