<p id="">The back water done rolled lord, and tumbled, drove me down the line<br>The back water done rolled and tumbled, drove poor Charley down the line<br>Lord, i'll tell the world the water done struck Drew's town</p><p id="">Lord the whole round country, lord creek water is overflowed<br>Lord the whole round country, man, is overflowed<br>(spoken: you know, i can't stay here, i'm bound to go where it's high boy.)<br>I would go to the hill country, but they got me barred</p><p id="">Now looky now, in Leland, Lord, river is rising high<br>Looky here, boys around Leland tell me river is raging high<br>(spoken: boy, it's rising over there, yeah.)<br>I'm going over to Greenville, bought our tickets, good bye</p><p id="">Looky here, the water dug out, Lordy, levee broke, rolled most everywhere<br>The water at Greeville and Leland, Lord, it done rose everywhere<br>(spoken: boy, you can't never stay here.)<br>I would go down to Rosedale, but they tell me there's water there</p><p id="">Back water at Blytheville, backed up all around<br>Back water at Blytheville, done struck Joiner town<br>It was fifty families and children. Tough luck, they can drown</p><p id="">The water was rising up in my friend's door<br>The water was risins up in my friend's door<br>The man said his womenfolk, "Lord we'd better go"</p><p id="">Oh Lordy, women is groaning down<br>Oh Lordy, women and children sinking down<br>(spoken: Lord have mercy.)<br>I couldn't see nobody home, and was no one to be found</p>
