Backwater Blues - Live

When it rains five days
 And the skies turn black as night
 I said when it rains five days
 And the skies turn black as night
 You know there's trouble in the lowlands
 And everything ain't right
 Well, well, I woke up this mornin'
 Couldn't even get out of my door
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I woke up this mornin'
 I couldn't even get out of my door
 There was enough trouble
 To make a poor girl wonder where she's oughta go
 'Bout that time they rowed a little boat
 About five miles across the farm
 Yeah, yeah, I said they rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat
 About five miles across the farm
 I packed up all of my clothes, and throwed them in
 Then they rowed me right along
 That's why, that's why the blues done called me
 Called me to pack my clothes and go
 The blues done called me
 Called me to pack my clothes and go
 'Cause my house done fell down
 And I can't live there no more
 Somebody, somebody, somebody please tell me
 Where there's for a poor girl like me to go
 Yeah, can't you see I'm tired?
 And I don't feel like moving no more
 But, but if I ever get my nerves settled down, Lord
 I'll be a mill so and so
