It rained five days Lord and the clouds turned as dark as night
|
It rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as night
|
Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to go
|
|
I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door
|
I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door
|
Lord that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder where in the world to go
|
|
Now they rowed a little boat just about five miles across the farm
|
Yeah they rowed a little boat down about five miles across the farm
|
Lord I packed up all of my clothes and throwed them in and I declare they rowed poor old Bill along
|
|
Then I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill
|
Yes I went and I stood up on a high, high old lonesome hill
|
Lord and all I could do was look down on the house baby where I used to live
|
|
Now it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow
|
Now it thundered and it lightnin'd, Lord and the wind, wind began to blow
|
Lord there was thousands and thousands of poor people at that time didn't have no place to go
