New Home Upon the Hill Songtext
von Hans Theessink

Far as eye can see - ain't no sign of solid ground
Far as eye can see - no sign of solid ground
High water risin', black water all around

Been raining so hard - for many nights and days
Been raining so hard - so many nights and days
Cold black water washing us all away


Little children weep and the grown folks moan
Little children weep and the grown folks moan
Cryin' mercy, mercy - flood water's taken our home

Wish I was fixin' to move - to a new home upon the hill
Wish I was fixin' to move - to a new home upon the hill
But my home's in the lowland - and the water's rising still

High water risin', black water all around
High water risin', black water all around
Far as eye can see - ain't no sign of solid ground
