Southern Flood Blues Lyrics

Early early one morning, water was comin' in my doorEarly one morning, water was comin' in my doorIt was the old high river, tellin' us to get ready and goIt was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' windIt was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' windIf I get away this time, I will never come here againHey my baby was cryin', I didn't have a thing to eatHey hey hey, I didn't have a thing to eatHey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the streetI was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats aroundHey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats aroundHey that looks like people, I've gotta stay right here and drownHey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the streamHey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the streamIt was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream
