When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night[00:00:04]
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night[00:00:14]
Then trouble's takin' place[00:00:23]
In the lowlands at night[00:00:26]
I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door[00:00:33]
I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door[00:00:42]
There's been enough trouble to make[00:00:52]
A poor girl wonder where she want to go[00:00:54]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:01]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:10]
I packed all my clothes throwed[00:01:19]
Them in and they rowed me along[00:01:22]
When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins to blow[00:01:28]
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow[00:01:37]
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go[00:01:46]
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill[00:01:55]
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill[00:02:04]
Then looked down on the house were I used to live[00:02:13]
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go[00:02:22]
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go[00:02:31]
'Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more[00:02:40]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:49]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:59]
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go[00:03:08]
