《Backwater Blues》歌词

[00:00:01] Backwater Blues - Bessie Smith

[00:00:04] When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night

[00:00:14] When it rains five days and the skies

[00:00:17] Turn dark as night

[00:00:23] Then trouble's takin' place in the

[00:00:27] Lowlands at night

[00:00:32] I woke up this mornin' can't even

[00:00:36] Get out of my door

[00:00:42] I woke up this mornin' can't even

[00:00:45] Get out of my door

[00:00:52] There's been enough trouble to

[00:00:53] Make a poor girl wonder where she want to go

[00:01:00] Then they rowed a little boat

[00:01:02] About five miles 'cross the pond

[00:01:09] Then they rowed a little boat

[00:01:11] About five miles 'cross the pond

[00:01:18] I packed all my clothes throwed them

[00:01:21] In and they rowed me along

[00:01:28] When it thunders and lightnin'

[00:01:30] And the wind begins to blow

[00:01:37] When it thunders and lightnin'

[00:01:39] And the wind begins to blow

[00:01:46] There's thousands of people ain't

[00:01:48] Got no place to go

[00:01:54] Then I went and stood upon

[00:01:57] Some high old lonesome hill

[00:02:03] Then I went and stood upon

[00:02:06] Some high old lonesome hill

[00:02:12] Then looked down on the

[00:02:14] House were I used to live

[00:02:21] Backwater blues done call me

[00:02:25] To pack my things and go

[00:02:30] Backwater blues done call me

[00:02:33] To pack my things and go

[00:02:40] 'Cause my house fell down

[00:02:42] And I can't live there no more

[00:02:49] Mmm I can't move no more

[00:02:58] Mmm I can't move no more

[00:03:07] There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
