The Flood - The Stanley Brothers/The Clinch Mountain Boys
Written by：Ralph Stanley/Carter Stanley
Come listen good people
Wherever you are
And hear a sad story
You've been waiting for
About the flood of '57
As it happened to be
In Kentucky Old Virginia
And East Tennessee
How the rains came down
And we often had seen
To swim a broad river
Or some little stream
But this one was different
And we soon realized
That the floods were raging
And we fought for our lives
Many were afraid
As never before
As the high muddy water
Came in through their door
Some were left homeless
Their life savings gone
But their lives had been spared
And the cold rains came on
Little babies were crying
And others were sad
For in all our lives
We'd seen nothing so bad
But the brave and the strong
Were there by the score
To help the sick and needy
To safety on the shore
How we all escaped it
I never will know
It must've been god's will
It was not time to go
And by the help of his mercy
Some managed to smile
And pass the disaster
While the waters run wild
