 [Traditional, arranged by Bones] When it rains five days And the sky turns dark as night When it rains five days And the sky turns dark as night There is trouble taking place In the lowlands at night. There was thunder, there was lightning And the winds began to blow. There was thunder, there was lightning And the winds began to blow. Lord, there's so many people That ain't got nowhere to go. Backwater blues made me Pack my things and go. That backwater rising made me Pack my things and go. My house broke down I can't live there no more. Well I went and I stood On that high old lonesome hill. I went and I stood On that high old lonesome hill. And I looked down on that place Where I used to live. When it rains five days And the sky turns dark as night. When it rains five days And the sky turns dark as night. There is trouble taking place In the lowlands at night. [Print version] [Next song] |
