Flood Water Blues Part 2 Songtext
von Casey Bill Weldon

It was dark as midnight and ev′rything was still
It was dark as midnight and ev'rything was still
Thousand of people, ooh-hoo, tryin′ to make it to the hills

I'm gonna tell you people the strangest thing I ever seen
I'm gonna tell you people the strangest thing I ever seen
It was cats and dogs on housetops, ooh-hoo, floatin′ down the stream


There was thousand o′ people on the hills, didn't have no place stay
There was thousand people on the hills, didn′t have no place stay
They was watchin' that water that was takin′ their houses away

It was cold and it's rainin′, some people didn't have shoes on their feet
It was cold and it's rainin′, some people didn′t have no shoes on their feet
Women and children cryin', ooh-hoo, because they didn′t have a thing to eat

I'm gonna build me a house in the mountains, in the highest mountain I know
I′m gonna build me a house in the mountains, in the highest mountain I know
So I won't have to worry, ooh-hoo, ′bout the high water and floods no mo'
