Southern Flood Blues
Big Bill \rBroonzy

Early 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 hey hey, I didn't have a thing to eat

Hey the water had come in, wash 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
