Backwater Blues - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)[00:00:00]
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[00:00:33]
I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door[00:00:42]
There's been enough trouble to[00:00:52]
Make a poor girl wonder where she want to go[00:00:54]
Then they rowed a little boat[00:01:01]
About five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:03]
Then they rowed a little boat[00:01:09]
About five miles 'cross the pond[00:01:12]
I packed all my clothes throwed[00:01:19]
Them in and they rowed me along[00:01:21]
When it thunders and lightnin'[00:01:28]
And when the wind begins to blow[00:01:30]
When it thunders and lightnin'[00:01:37]
And the wind begins to blow[00:01:39]
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go[00:01:46]
Then I went and stood upon[00:01:54]
Some high old lonesome hill[00:01:57]
Then I went and stood upon[00:02:03]
Some high old lonesome hill[00:02:06]
Then looked down on the house[00:02:12]
Were I used to live[00:02:16]
Backwater blues done call me to[00:02:21]
Pack my things and go[00:02:25]
Backwater blues done call me to[00:02:30]
Pack my things and go[00:02:34]
'Cause my house fell down and[00:02:40]
I can't live there no more[00:02:42]
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]
