Wild Water Blues Songtext
von Kokomo Arnold

I woke up this morning, I couldn′t even get out of my door
I woke up this morning, I couldn't even get out of my door
Said this wild water got me covered, and I ain′t got no place to go

Now I hear my mama crying, but I just can't help myself
Now I hear my mama crying, but I just can't help myself
Now this wild water keep on rising,
I got to get help from someone else


Now good morning Mr Wild Water why did you stop in my front door?
Now good morning Mr Wild Water why did you stop in my front door?
Says you reaches from Cairo, clean down to the Gulf of Mexico

Now don′t you hear your mother
Crying, weeping and moaning all night long?
Now don′t you hear your mother
Crying, weeping and moaning all night long?
Because old man wild water done been
Here, took her best friends and gone

Now look a‑here Mr Wild Water, why do you treat me so doggone mean?
Now look a‑here Mr Wild Water, why do you treat me so doggone mean?
Says you took my house out of Cairo, carried it down in New Orleans
