Southern Flood Blues
Early early one morning, water was comin' in my door
Early one morning, water was comin' in my door
It was the old high(?) river, tellin' us to get ready and go
It was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' wind
It was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' wind
If I get away this time, I will never come here again
Hey my baby was cryin', I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey hey hey, I didn't have a thing to eat
Hey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the street
I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around
Hey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around
Hey that looks like people, I've gotta stay right here and drown
Hey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the stream
Hey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the stream
It was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream
Blues da Inundação do Sul
Cedo, cedo uma manhã, a água entrava pela minha porta
Cedo uma manhã, a água entrava pela minha porta
Era o velho rio cheio, dizendo pra gente se preparar e ir
Estava escuro e chovia, dava pra ouvir aquele vento uivando
Estava escuro e chovia, amor, dava pra ouvir aquele vento uivando
Se eu escapar dessa vez, nunca mais volto aqui
Ei, meu amor estava chorando, eu não tinha nada pra comer
Ei, ei, ei, eu não tinha nada pra comer
Ei, a água tinha entrado, levando tudo que eu tinha rua abaixo
Eu estava gritando por misericórdia, e não tinha nenhum barco por perto
Ei, eu estava gritando por misericórdia, e não tinha nenhum barco por perto
Ei, parece que tem gente, eu tenho que ficar aqui e me afogar
Ei, minha casa começou a tremer, começou a flutuar rio abaixo
Ei, minha casa começou a tremer, foi flutuando rio abaixo
Estava escuro como a meia-noite, as pessoas começaram a gritar e a berrar
