LaVern Baker - Backwater Blues lyrics

[LaVern Baker - Backwater Blues lyrics]

When it rains five days
And the skies turn dark as night
Mm, when it rains five days
And the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's takin' place in
The lowlands at night

I woke up this mornin'
Can't even get out my door
I woke up this mornin'
Can't even get out my door
There's enough trouble to make a
Poor girl want to go

Then, they rowed a little boat
Yeah about five miles 'cross the pond
Whoa oh, they rowed a little boat about
Five miles 'cross the pond
I packed all my clothes
And they rowed me along



When it thunders and lightnin'
And the winds begin to blow
Woah ooh ooh, it thunders and lightnin'
And the wind begins to blow
Well, there's a thousand people ain't
Got no place to go

Then I went, and I stood up on a high
Old lonesome hill
Then I went, and I stood up on a high
Old lonesome hill
Yeah, and then I looked down on the
House were I used to live

That's why the blues done caused me
Well to pack my things and go
Oh oh oh oh, the blues done caused me, yeah
To pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down
And I can't live there no more

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh hoo, I can't move no more
Oh oh oh oh oh, I can't move no more
There ain't
Ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
