Artist/Band: Big Bill Broonzy
Lyrics for Song: Back Water Blues
Lyrics for Album: Complete Vogue Recordings [2005]



It rained five days Lord and the clouds turned as dark as night

It rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as night

Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to go



I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door

I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door

Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to go



Now they rowed a little boat just about five miles across the farm

Yeah they rowed a little boat down about five miles across the farm

Lord I packed up all of my clothes and throwed them in and I declare they rowed poor old Bill along



Then I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill

Yes I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill

Lord and all I could do was look down on the house baby where I used to live



Now it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow

Now it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow

Lord there was thousands and thousands of poor people at that time didn't have no place to go
