Hellwater

Hell or highwater, Baby Katy Gray
Hell or highwater done washed her away
Hell or highwater in the troublesome creek
Hell or highwater, Baby Katy Gray
Hell or highwater done washed her away
Hell or highwater in the troublesome creek
Like baby Moses in the reeds, can't ya see what I meen?
Ya gotta Row, ya gotta Wade, ya gotta give til it bleeds
'Cause higher Hellwater is the last thing ya need

Hell or highwater, Speedy's floatin' away
1937 must be Jugdement Day
Hell or highwater, Holstein on the porch
And not enough sense to swim the hell on home
Hell or highwater suckin' down the sink
Just jiggle on the handle til the guilt goes away
Ya gotta dive like a duck, dogpaddle or plunge
Higher Hellwater's got ya on the run
Higher Hellwater's got ya on the run

Hell or highwater in the welfare line
If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise
Hell or highwater, three hots and a cot
Case quarter change and Katrina Cough
Hell or highwater, it's the slugde o' sin
A color TV and a bottle o' gin
He wants your nose in The Book, drop down on your knees
It's higher Hellwater, honey, if you please
