Big Bill Broonzy - Southern Flood Blues Lyrics
Artist: Big Bill Broonzy
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Folk
- Songwriters: William Broonzy
Early one morning
Water was comin' in my door
Early one morning
Water was comin' in my door
It was the old high river
Tellin' us to get ready and go
It was dark and it was rainin'
You could hear that howlin' wind
It was dark and it was rainin'
Baby, you could hear that howlin' wind
If I get away this time
I will never come here again
Hey, my baby was cryin'
I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey, I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey, the water had come in
Washed everything
I had down the street
I was hollerin' for mercy
And it weren't no boats around
Hey, I was hollerin' for mercy
And it weren't no boats around
Hey, that looks like people
I've gotta stay right here and drown
Hey, my house started shakin'
Started floatin' on down the stream
Hey, my house started shakin'
Went floatin' on down the stream
It was dark as midnight
People began to holler and scream
In the Know
