Backwater Blues Lyrics

Backwater Blues

Where the hell the sun , it just rain for days
all this river rising and cryin´ , washin us away
if we let go now , we`re let our love drown
an` baby this cold blue river , might never go down

So put up your bags , an` get away from the door
put up that rusty pistol , babe I ain´t mad anymore
if you leave me now , and head for higher ground
baby this river blue back water , gonna take me down

Baby I can´t let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
baby just let the hard times row
we`ll wail outta here when the water`s low
these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on

Solo

This river ain`t deep , it`s just a little cold
so put your arms around me , we find us some stepping`stones
baby hold on tight , `cause dry land`s in sight
we`ll be out of this backwater blues , if we hold on


Baby I can´t let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
baby just let the hard times row
we`ll wail outta here when the water`s low
these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
baby these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
