Loading...

[transcription in progress]

[verse 1]
i woke up this mornin’, couldn’t even get out of my door
i woke up this mornin’, couldn’t even get out of my door
the levee broke and this town is overflowed

[verse 2]
and you could hear people screamin’ all over town
and you could hear people screamin’ all over town
and [someone’s/some was] callin’ “please don’t let me drown”

[verse 3]
when the water was risin’ and creepin’ up in my door
when the water was risin’, creepin’ up in my door
i had a mind to leave, and i didn’t know where to go

[verse 4]
they were rowin’ little boats five [and/or] ten miles away
they were rowin’ little boats, lord, five [and/or] ten miles away
they were pickin’ up people, didn’t have no place to stay

[verse 5]
livin’ on the levee, sleepin’ on the ground
livin’ on the levee, sleepin’ on the ground
i’m gonna tell everybody that greeville’s a good old town
[verse 6]
delta water caused me to lose my clothes and shoes
delta water caused me to lose my clothes and shoes
you can tell by that [you’re livin’/it’s left me] with the delta water blues
