Flood Water Blues

歌詞

It's been snowin' forty days an' nights; lakes and rivers begin to freeze It's been snowin' forty days an' 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 sinkin' down Storm begin risin' and the sun begin sinkin' down I says: "Mother 'n' 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 get frightened; my nerves begin weakenin' down And the shack where we was livin' begin movin' 'roun' Women and children were screamin', sayin': "Mama, where must we go?" Women and children were screamin', sayin': "Lord, where must we go? The flood water have broke the levees, and we ain't safe here no mo'" 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', it's drivin' me out my mind"
