Lyrics by:Bessie Smith[00:00:01]
Composed by:Bessie Smith[00:00:02]
When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night[00:00:04]
When it rained five days and the sky turned 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[00:00:41]
There's enough trouble to make a poor girl[00:00:51]
Wonder where she wanna go[00:00:54]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:00:59]
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:08]
I packed all my clothes throwed 'em in[00:01:18]
And they rowed me along[00:01:20]
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow[00:01:27]
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow[00:01:35]
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go[00:01:44]
And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill[00:01:53]
And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill[00:02:02]
Then looked down on the house were I used to live[00:02:11]
Backwater blues done called me to pack my things and go[00:02:20]
Backwater blues done called me to pack my things and go[00:02:29]
'Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more[00:02:38]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:47]
Mmm I can't move no more[00:02:56]
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go[00:03:04]
