Back Water Blues (Original Mix|Live in Scottland)

Back Water Blues - Big Bill Broonzy

It rained five days Lord

And the clouds turned as dark as night

It rained five days

And the clouds turned as dark as night

Lord that was really enough

Trouble to make a poor man wonder

Where in the world to go

I got up one morning

Poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door

I got up one morning

Poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door

Lord that was really enough

Trouble to make a poor man wonder

Where in the world to go

Now they rowed a little boat

Just about five miles across the farm

Yeah they rowed a little boat

Down about five miles across the farm

Lord I packed up all of my clothes

And throwed them in

And I declare they rowed poor old Bill along

Then I went and I stood up on a high

High old lonesome hill

Yes I went and I stood up on a high

High old lonesome hill

Lord and all I could do was look down

On the house baby where I used to live

Now it thundered and it lightnin'd

Lord and the wind wind began to blow

Now it thundered and it lightnin'd

Lord and the wind wind began to blow

Lord there was thousands

And thousands of poor people at

That time didn't have no place to go
