High Water 歌詞

 

Well backwater done rose all around Sumner now

 

Drove me down the line

 

Backwater done rose at Sumner

 

Drove poor Charley down the line

Lord I'll tell the world the water

Done crept through this town

Lord the whole round country

 

Lord river has overflowed

 

Lord the whole round country

Man is overflowed

 

You know I can't stay here

I'll go where it's high boy

I would goto the hilly country

 

But they got me barred

Now look a here now at Leland

River was risin' high

 

Look a here boys around Leland tell me

River was raisin' high

 

Boy it's risin' over there yeah

 

I'm gonna move to Greenville

Fore I leave goodbye

 

Look a here the water now Lordy

 

Levee broke rose most everywhere

 

The water at Greenville and Leland

 

Lord it done rose everywhere

 

Boy you can't never stay here

 

I would go down to Rosedale

But they tell me there's water there

 

Now the water now mama

 

Done took Charley's town

 

Well they tell me the water

Done took Charley's town

Boy I'm goin' to Vicksburg

Well I'm goin' to Vicksburg

For that high of mine

I am goin' up that water

 

Where lands don't never flow

Well I'm goin' over the hill where

Water oh don't ever flow

Boy hit Sharkey County and everything was down in Stovall

 

But that whole county was leavin'

 

Over that Tallahatchie shore Boy

 

Went to Tallahatchie and got it over there

 

Lord the water done rushed all over

Down old Jackson road

Lord the water done raised

 

Over the Jackson road

Boy it starched my clothes

I'm goin' back to the hilly country

 

Won't be worried no more
