Charley Patton - High Water Everywhere Pt
Well backwater done rose all around Sumner now
Drove me down the line
Backwater done rose at Sumner
Drove poor Charley down the line
And I'll tell the world the water
Done crept through this town
Lord the whole round country
Lord river has overflowed
Lord the whole round country
Man is overflowed
You know I can't stay here
I'll go where it's high boy
I would go to the hilly country
But they got me barred
Now look a here now at Leland
River was rising high
Look a here boys around Leland tell me
River was raising high
Boy it's rising over there yeah
I'm gonna move to Greenville
Fore I leave goodbye
Look a here the water now Lordy
Levee broke rose most everywhere
The water at Greenville and Leland
Lord it done rose everywhere
Boy you can't never stay here
I would go down to Rosedale
But they tell me there's water there
Now the water now mama
Done took Charley's town
Well they tell me the water
Done took Charley's town
Boy I'm going to Vicksburg
Well I'm going to Vicksburg
For that high of mine
I am going up that water
Where lands don't never flow
Well I'm going over the hill where
Water oh don't ever flow
Boy hit Sharkey County
And everything was down in Stovall
But that whole county was leaving
Over that Tallahatchie shore Boy
Went to Tallahatchie and got it over there
Lord the water done rushed all over
Down old Jackson road
Lord the water done raised
Over the Jackson road
Boy it starched my clothes
I'm going back to the hilly country
Won't be worried no more
