blind lemon jefferson - rising high water blues lyrics
backwater rising, southern peoples can’t make no time
i said, backwater rising, southern peoples can’t make no time
and i can’t get no hearing from that memphis girl of mine
water in arkansas, people screaming in tennessee
oh, people screaming in tennessee
if i don’t leave memphis, backwater spill all over poor me
people, since its raining, it has been for nights and days
people, since its raining, has been for nights and days
thousands people stands on the hill, looking down were they used to stay
children stand there screaming: mama, we ain’t got no home
oh, mama we ain’t got no home
papa says to the children, “backwater left us all alone”
backwater rising, come in my windows and door
the backwater rising, come in my windows and door
i leave with a prayer in my heart, backwater won’t rise no more
