[00:30.04]When it rained five days
[00:34.30]And the skies turned dark at night
[00:41.85]When it rained five days
[00:46.22]And the skies turned dark at night
[00:53.27]There was trouble takin' place
[00:57.76]In the lowland at night
[01:05.23]I woke up this mornin'
[01:10.46]Couldn't even get out of my door
[01:18.44]I woke up this mornin'
[01:21.85]Couldn't even get out of my door
[01:27.96]Enough trouble to make a poor woman
[01:33.81]Wonder where she's gonna go
[01:41.01]They rowed a little boat
[01:44.49]About five miles across the farm
[01:51.17]Said they rowed a little boat
[01:55.86]About five miles across the farm
[02:02.45]I packed up all of my clothes trowed them in
[02:07.57]And they rowed me along
[02:13.81]Where it thundered and lightnin'
[02:19.33]And the wind began to blow
[02:27.97]Said it thundered and lightnin'
[02:31.23]And the wind began to blow
[02:35.99]There was thousands of people
[02:41.66]They had no place to go
[02:48.76]I went out and stood up
[02:53.18]On a high old lonesome hill
[03:00.66]I went out and stood up
[03:03.39]On a high old lonesome hill
[03:09.88]I looked down on the house
[03:15.57]Where I used to live
[03:20.67]Back water blues that calls me
[03:26.69]To pack my things and go
[03:32.94]Back water blues that calls me
[03:38.11]To pack my things and go
[03:43.25]Cause my house fell down
[03:48.03]And I can't live there no more
[03:52.73]Ooh I can't live there no more
[03:56.64]Ooh I can't live there no more
[04:11.06]There ain't no place for a poor woman to go
