《Flood Water Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Flood Water Blues - Lonnie Johnson

[00:00:16] It's been snowin' forty days and nights lakes and rivers begin to freeze

[00:00:25] It's been snowin' forty days and nights rivers and lakes begin to freeze

[00:00:36] Some places through my old hometown water 's up above my knees

[00:00:45] Storm begin risin' and the sun begin sinking down

[00:00:55] Storm begin risin' the sun begin sinking down

[00:01:04] I says "Mother and Dad pack your trunk We ain't safe here in this town

[00:01:14] When it lightnin' my mind gets frightened my nerves begin weakenin' down

[00:01:24] When it lightnin' my mind gets frightened my nerves begin weakenin' down

[00:01:33] And the shack where we was livin' begin movin' 'round

[00:01:42] Women and children were screamin' sayin' "Mama why must we go "

[00:01:51] Women and children were screamin' sayin' "Lord where must we go "

[00:02:00] "The floodwater have broke the levees and we ain't safe here no more "

[00:02:10] And begin cloud as dark as midnight keep raining all the time

[00:02:20] I say "Oh I wonder why the sun don't ever shine "

[00:02:29] And the way it keeps rainin' its drivin' me out my mind
