The Flood (Single Version) - The Stanley Brothers/The Clinch Mountain Boys[00:00:00]

Written by：Ralph Stanley/Carter Stanley[00:00:04]

Come listen good people[00:00:08]

Wherever you are[00:00:11]

And hear a sad story[00:00:16]

You've been waiting for[00:00:20]

About the flood of '57[00:00:24]

As it happened to be[00:00:28]

In Kentucky Old Virginia[00:00:33]

And East Tennessee[00:00:36]

How the rains came down[00:00:41]

And we often had seen[00:00:44]

To swim a broad river[00:00:49]

Or some little stream[00:00:52]

But this one was different[00:00:58]

And we soon realized[00:01:01]

That the floods were raging[00:01:06]

And we fought for our lives[00:01:09]

Many were afraid[00:01:23]

As never before[00:01:26]

As the high muddy water[00:01:31]

Came in through their door[00:01:34]

Some were left homeless[00:01:40]

Their life savings gone[00:01:43]

But their lives had been spared[00:01:48]

And the cold rains came on[00:01:51]

Little babies were crying[00:01:57]

And others were sad[00:02:00]

For in all our lives[00:02:05]

We'd seen nothing so bad[00:02:08]

But the brave and the strong[00:02:13]

Were there by the score[00:02:17]

To help the sick and needy[00:02:22]

To safety on the shore[00:02:25]

How we all escaped it[00:02:30]

I never will know[00:02:34]

It must've been god's will[00:02:39]

It was not time to go[00:02:42]

And by the help of his mercy[00:02:47]

Some managed to smile[00:02:51]

And pass the disaster[00:02:56]

While the waters run wild[00:02:59]
