Back Water Blues - Kitty Waters
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's taking place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this morning can't even get out of my door
I woke up this morning can't even get out of my door
There's been enough trouble to make a poor girl
Wonder where she wants to go
It thunders and lightning
And the wind begins to blow
It thunders and lightning
And the wind begins to blow
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go
Then I went and stood
Upon high old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood
Upon high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on my house
Where I used to live
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
Because my house fell down
And I can't live there no more
Mmm I can't move no more
Mmm I can't move no more
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
