Southern Flood Blues Lyrics - Essential 10: Big Bill Broonzy - Big Bill Broonzy

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
