Flood Water 歌詞
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
