"South Bound Backwater (1938)" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
It's been snowin' forty days and the ground is covered with snow.
It's been snowin' forty days, ground is covered with snow.
I'm snowbound in my cabin, and ice up around my door.

I woke up this mornin', couldn't even get out my door.
I woke up this mornin', couldn't even get out my door.
I was snowbound in my cabin, and water seepin' up through my floor.

Snow begin meltin', and the rain begin to fall.
Snow begin meltin', and the rain begin to fall.
The backwaters done broke the levee, and I can't stay here no more.

Found my boat, just about four miles 'cross the pond.
And I rowed my boat, about four miles across the pond.
Backwater done wrecked my cabin, and there's no place that I can call my home.

South bound flood is comin', I've got to pack my things and go.
South bound flood, has caused me to pack my things and go.
Backwater has wrecked my cabin, and I can't live there no more.
