《Backwater Blues》歌词

[00:00:02] 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 turn dark as night

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

[00:00:32] I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door

[00:00:42] I woke up this mornin' can't even get out of my door

[00:00:52] There's been enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she want to go

[00:01:00] Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond

[00:01:09] Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond

[00:01:18] I packed all my clothes throwed them in and they rowed me along

[00:01:28] When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins to blow

[00:01:37] When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow

[00:01:46] There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go

[00:01:54] Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill

[00:02:03] Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill

[00:02:12] Then looked down on the house were I used to live

[00:02:21] Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go

[00:02:30] Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go

[00:02:39] 'Cause my house fell down 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
