Backwater Blues-Bessie Smith[00:00:02]
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 in the lowlands at night[00:00:23]
I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door[00:00:32]
I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door[00:00:42]
There's been enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she want to go[00:00:52]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:00]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:09]
I packed all my clothes throwed them in and they rowed me along[00:01:18]
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[00:01:54]
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill[00:02:03]
Then looked down on the house were I used to live[00:02:12]
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go[00:02:21]
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go[00:02:30]
'Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more[00:02:39]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:49]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:58]
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go[00:03:07]
