Jimmy Witherspoon - Back Water Blues lyrics

rate me

Well, it rained five days<br />

And the skies turned dark as night<br />

Well, it rained five days<br />

And the skies turned dark as night<br />

And trouble's takin' place in the lowland that night<br />

<br />

Well, it was thunderin', it was lightnin'<br />

And the wind began to blow<br />

Well, it was thunderin', it was lightnin'<br />

And the wind began to blow<br />

Yes, in blues and trouble<br />

Makes a poor girl wonder where she wants to go<br />

<br />

Yes, they rolled a little ball<br />

About five miles across the park<br />

Yes, they rolled a little ball<br />

About five miles across the park<br />

Yes, I packed all my clothes<br />

Then they rolled me all along<br />

<br />

Yes, I wait and I stood<br />

Upon some high old lonesome hill<br />

Well, I wait and I stood<br />

Upon some high old lonesome hill<br />

Then I looked down on that old shack<br />

That old shack where I used to live
