Five Feet High And Rising

How high's the water Mama

Two feet high and risin'

How high's the water Papa

She said Two feet high and risin'

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat

'Cause that's the only thing we got left that'll float

It's already over all the wheat and the oats

Two feet high and risin'

How high's the water Mama

Three feet high and risin'

How high's the water Papa

She said It's three feet high and risin'

Well the hives are gone I've lost my bees

The chickens are sleepin' in the willow trees

Cow's in water up past her knees

Three feet high and risin'

How high's the water Mama

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water Papa

She said It's four feet high and risin'

Hey come look through the window pane

The bus is comin' gonna take us to the train

Looks like we'll be blessed with a rainlittle more

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water Mama

Five feet high and risin'

How high's the water Papa

She said It's five feet high and risin'

Well the rails are washed out north of town

We gotta head for higher ground

We can't come back till the water goes down

Five feet high and risin'

Well it's five feet high and risin'
