Lyrics
How high's the water, mama? Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? They said: two feet high and risin' We can make it to the road in a homemade boat That's the only thing we got left that'll float It's already over all the wheat and the oats Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? He said: three feet high and risin' Well, the hives are gone I've lost my bees The chickens are sleepin' In the willow trees Cow's in water up past her knees Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Four feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? He siad: four feet high and risin' Hey, come look through the window pane The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain Four feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Five feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? He said: five feet high and risin' Well, the rails are washed out north of town We gotta head for higher ground We can't come back till the water comes down Five feet high and risin' Well, it's five feet high and risin'
