balsam range - calloway county flood lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ever since i drowned back in ’38 that rivers been dry as a bone
nothing left there but a nifty old creek bed buried in a feet of stone
the crazy old man standing down on the street in the middle of the old town square
said ‘that rivers gonna come back to haunt you and people you better beware’

[chorus]
the water’s getting deep and it keeps on rising
oh lord, what’s going on?
some folks are praying and others are crying
the whole town’s almost gone
almost gone

[verse 2]
thirty years ago they started up a building right where the river ran
they dug up the ground and they tore down the levy and that’s where the town began
so when the sky opened up over calloway county it caught everybody by surprise
the valley overflowed and the river started rolling and people had to run for their lives

[chorus]
the water’s getting deep and it keeps on rising
oh lord, what’s going on?
some folks are praying and others are crying
the whole town’s almost gone
almost gone

[verse 3]
the crazy old man who warned us all, he was all already to go
well as the rain came down you could hear him shout ‘people, i told you so, i told you so’

[interlude]

[chorus]
the water’s getting deep and it keeps on rising
oh lord, what’s going on?
some folks are praying and others are crying
the whole town’s almost gone

the water’s getting deep and it keeps on rising
oh lord, what’s going on?
some folks are praying and others are crying
the whole town’s almost gone
it’s almost gone, it’s almost gone
