Backwater Blues

歌詞

Spoken: Well good people, you know all water will put out fire, but when water backs up it makes you put out. Right up the mountain just like the old wreck of 97 going down the grade 90 miles an hour. Now we're going to give you a little imitation of how that ol' train was a'going Instrumental excerpt of Wreck of the Old 97 Spoken: Hot dog, I'm old but I'm round, here Backwater's up and the people are a running I'm going to the mountain and I'm going hunting Fare you well, oh my little darling Lord, lord, ain't I gone Oh my love, lonesome road Oh my love, lonesome wood I love you and you can't help it You love me but you won't confess it No you don't, oh my little darling Lord, lord, ain't I gone Oh my love, lonesome road Oh my love, lonesome wood Two little children lying in the bed The water was rising over their head The mother's uptown, they'se never found Lord, lord, wasn't that sad Oh how bad, oh how sad I heard a man talkin' to a fella The water was rising in his cellar Rising more, and a'coming through the floor Lord, lord, open the door Oh my love, lonesome road Oh my love, lonesome wood Nashville is a favorite town The backwater's got us running around Lord have mercy, ain't I gone Lord, lord, fare you well Oh my love, lonesome road Oh my love, lonesome wood
