Flood Water - 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' its drivin' me out my mind
