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
