Five Feet High and Rising [1959]

How High Is The Water Mamma
Two Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Papa
She Said It Is Two Feet High And Rising
We Can Make It To The Road In A Homemade Boat
'Cause Thats The Only Thing That We’ve Got Left That Floats
It’s Already Over All The Wheat And Oats
Two Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Mamma
Three Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Papa
She Said It Is Three Feet High And Rising
Wel Our Hive Is Gone I’ve Lost My Bees
Chickens Is Asleep In The Willow Trees
The Cow Is In The Water Passed Her Knees
Three Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Mamma
Four Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Papa
She Said It Is Four Feet High And Rising
Hey Come And Look Through The Window Pane
The Bus Is Coming Going To Take Us To The Train
Looks Like We’re Blessed For A Little More Rain
Four Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Mamma
Five Feet High And Rising
How High Is The Water Papa
She Said It Is Five Feet High And Rising
Well The Rail Has Washed Out North Of Town
We’ve Got To Head For Higher Ground
We Can’t Come Back Till The Water Goes Down
Five Feet High And Rising
Well Its Five Feet High And Rising
