"Back Water Blues" Lyrics

Whoa it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
I said when it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
And trouble's takin' place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
Yeah, I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
Whoa, it was so much trouble make man wonder what he's working for
Said they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
Hey, hey they rowed this little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
Well I packed all my things, throwed them in and they rowed me along
This rain never gonna stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well I climbed up high, way upon lonesome hill
Well I climbed up high, way upon lonesome hill
And I looked down on the old house baby house where I used to live
Well the damn it thunder and the lightning, and the wind began to blow
Well I said the thunder and the lightning, and the wind began to blow
It never gonna stop this rain baby
you know if I find is any dry, I would drown, yeah, yeah.
