Tupelo Blues

Tupelo Blues - John Lee Hooker (約翰·李·胡克)

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 with them

'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

Hm hm hm hm hm hm

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

Hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm

Lord have mercy

Wasn't that a mighty time

Tupelo's gone
