High Water Everywhere

Well there’s high water everywhere

Lord the river overflows

Well there’s high water everywhere

Lord the river overflows

You go where its high boy

Down to hill country road

Still the water was rising

I been sinking down

Man, that water was rising

At all places around

Where the fifty men and children, come to sink and drown

Now we’re looking at New Orleans, where the crest stood high

Nobody said it was rising, one more time silver lie

Should move up much higher, before I sink and die
