Back Water Blues - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)
When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night
When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night
Then trouble's taking place in the lowlands tonight
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
That's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder
Where she want to go
They rowed a little boat about five miles across the farm
They rowed a little boat about five miles across the farm
I packed all of my clothes throwed them in
And they rowed me along
When it thundered and lighteninged and the wind began to blow
When it thundered and lighteninged and the wind began to blow
There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go
And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill
And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill
And looked down on the house where I used to live
Back Water Blues done calls me to pack my things and go
Back Water Blues done calls me 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
TMmm I can't move no more
There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
