High Water Everywhere, Part 2

Backwater at Blytheville churned up all around
Backwater  at Blytheville done took Joiner Town
It  was fifty families and children come to sink and drown

Water was risin' up to my friend's door
Yea the water was risin' up to my friend's door
The  man said to his womenfolk, "Lord, we'd got to go"

Oh  the water was risin', got up all in my bed
Yea, the water was risin', got up all in my bed
I  thought I would take a trip out on the big ice sled

Oh, I can hear, Lord, water upon me
Oh, I can hear, Lord, water upon my dor
I couldn't get no boats, nobody go in them no more

So  the water was risin' while men sinkin' down
Oh, the water was risin', people sinkin' down
It was fifty men and children come to sink and drown

Lord, women and grown men in their town
Oh, women and childrens, oh they sinkin' down
I couldn't see nobody's house, nobody could be found

Backwater at Blytheville churned up all around
Backwater at Blytheville done took Joiner Town
It was fifty families and children come to sink and drown
