Big Bill Broonzy - Back Water Blues Lyrics
It rained five days Lord and the clouds turned as dark as nightIt rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as nightLord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to goI got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my doorI got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my doorLord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to goNow they rowed a little boat just about five miles across the farmYeah they rowed a little boat down about five miles across the farmLord I packed up all of my clothes and throwed them in and I declare they rowed poor old Bill alongThen I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hillYes I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hillLord and all I could do was look down on the house baby where I used to liveNow it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blowNow it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blowLord there was thousands and thousands of poor people at that time didn't have no place to go
