Backwater Blues

歌詞

It rained five days The sky has turned black as night Oh, it rained five days And the sky has turned black as night And there's trouble takin' place Way down in the lowlands tonight I woke up this mornin' And I couldn't get out of my front door I woke up this mornin' And I couldn't get out of my front door It was so much trouble Make a poor man wonder where he wanna go They rowed a little boat About five miles 'cross the pond They rowed a little boat About five miles 'cross the pond I packed up all of my things and threw 'em in Boys and the boat rowed along I climbed up on the high lonely hill Oh, I climbed up on the high oh, lonely hill And I looked down at the house Baby, where I used to live Backwater blues caused me To pack my things and go The backwater blues caused me To pack my things and go 'Cause my house fell down And I can't live there no more Yeah, when it's thunderin' and lightnin' And the rain begin to pour When it's thunderin' and lightnin' And the wind begin to blow There are so many poor people That didn't have no place to go
