Eric Bibb - Flood Water lyrics
[Eric Bibb - Flood Water lyrics]
Flood water spreadin' all arround
People everywhere tryin' to
Make higher ground
Many met their Maker in a watery grave
If your neighbour had a boat
Well ya mighta been saved mighta been saved
Bibles floatin' in the water
Had to leave it all behind
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind
Paid her no mind
People straddlin' their rooftops –
Water reachin' to their kness
Heard the preacher holler, "Lord, Lord, Lord
Have Mercy, if You please,!"
Don't you know, it rained, Noah
Where were you"
Cows couldn't swim, drownin' two by two
Flood water far as my eyes could see
Nineteen hundred
Twenty-seven never leave my memory
Never leave my memory
People everywhere tryin' to
Make higher ground
Many met their Maker in a watery grave
If your neighbour had a boat
Well ya mighta been saved mighta been saved
Bibles floatin' in the water
Had to leave it all behind
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind
Paid her no mind
People straddlin' their rooftops –
Water reachin' to their kness
Heard the preacher holler, "Lord, Lord, Lord
Have Mercy, if You please,!"
Don't you know, it rained, Noah
Where were you"
Cows couldn't swim, drownin' two by two
Flood water far as my eyes could see
Nineteen hundred
Twenty-seven never leave my memory
Never leave my memory
