Backwater Blues
When it rained five daysAnd the skies turned dark at nightWhen it rained five daysAnd the skies turned dark at nightThere was trouble takin' placeIn the lowland at nightI woke up this mornin'Couldn't even get out of my doorI woke up this mornin'Couldn't even get out of my doorEnough trouble to make a poor manWonder where he's gonna goThey rowed a little boatAbout five miles across the farmSaid they rowed a little boatAbout five miles across the farmI packed up all of my clothes, trowed them inAnd they rowed me alongWhere it thundered and lightnin'And the wind began to blowSaid it thundered and lightnin'And the wind began to blowThere was thousands of peopleSongtexteThey had no place to goI went out and stood upOn a high old lonesome hillI went out and stood upOn a high old lonesome hillI looked down on the houseWhere I used to liveBack water blues that calls meTo pack my things and goBack water blues that calls meTo pack my things and goCause my house fell downAnd I can't live there no moreOoh, I can't live there no moreOoh, I can't live there no moreThere ain't no place for a poor man to go Aus Songtexte Mania
