It rained five days and the skies turned dark and gloomy
It rained five days and the skies turned dark and gloomy
And the trouble taking place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this morning, couldn′t even get out of my door
I woke up this morning, couldn't even get out of my door
Enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder what she want to do
I went out to the lonesome, high old lonesome hill
I went out to the lonesome, high old lonesome hill
I looked down on the old house where I used to live
Backwater blues has caused me to pack up my things and go
Backwater blues has caused me to pack up my things and go
And my house fell down and I can′t live there no more
