High Water Everywhere - Part 2

Backwater at Blytheville, backed up all around
 Backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner town
 It was fifty families and children come to sink and drown
 The water was risin' up at my friend's door
 The water was risin' up at my friend's door
 The man said to his women folk, "Lord, we'd better go"
 The water was risin', got up in my bed
 Lord, the water was rollin', got up to my bed
 I thought I would take a trip, Lord, out on the big ice sled
 Oh, I can hear, Lord, Lord, water upon my door
 You know what I mean, look-a here
 I hear the ice, Lord, Lord, was sinkin' down
 I couldn't get no boats there, Marion City gone down
 So high the water was risin' our men sinkin' down
 Man, the water was risin' at places all around
 Boy, they's all around
 It was fifty men and children come to sink and drown
 Oh, Lordy, women and grown men drown
 Oh, women and children sinkin' down
 Lord, have mercy
 I couldn't see nobody's home and wasn't no one to be found
