Back Water Blues - LaVern Baker
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 takin' place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this mornin'
Can't even get out of my door
I woke up this mornin'
Can't even get out of my door
There's enough trouble to
Make a poor girl want to go
Then they rowed a little boat
About five miles 'cross the pond
They rowed a little boat
About five miles 'cross the pond
I packed all my clothes
And they rowed me along
When it thunders and lightnin'
And when begins to blow
It thunders and lightnin'
And the wind begins to blow
There's thousands people
Ain't got no place to go
Then I went and stood
Old lonehigh old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood
Old lonehigh old lonesome hill
Yeah then I looked down on the house were I used to live
There's water blues done call me
Well the pack my things and go
Hold hold hold hold the blues done call me
Hey to pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down
And I can't live there no more
Mmm I can't move no more
Oh I can't move no more
There hey ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
