[00:10.20] It rained five days
[00:17.38] The sky has turned black as night
[00:27.61] Oh' it rained five days
[00:38.13] And the sky has turned black as night
[00:46.51] And there's trouble takin' place
[00:53.57] Way down in the lowlands tonight
[00:58.67]
[01:03.37] I woke up this mornin'
[01:10.56] And I couldn't get out of my front door
[01:22.35] I woke up this mornin'
[01:29.65] And I couldn't get out of my front door
[01:40.20] It was so much trouble
[01:46.99] Make a poor man wonder where he wanna go
[01:53.20]
[01:58.51] They rowed a little boat
[02:05.58] About five miles 'cross the pond
[02:17.99] They rowed a little boat
[02:25.90] About five miles 'cross the pond
[02:35.04] I packed up all of my things and threw 'em in
[02:41.54] Boys and the boat rowed along
[02:49.12]
[02:53.54] I climbed up on the high lonely hill
[03:11.62] Oh' I climbed up on the high oh' lonely hill
[03:30.07] And I looked down at the house
[03:36.99] Baby' where I used to live
[04:37.34]
[04:42.51] Backwater blues caused me
[04:51.03] To pack my things and go
[05:01.47] The backwater blues caused me
[05:10.25] To pack my things and go
[05:18.89] 'Cause my house fell down
[05:25.52] And I can't live there no more
[05:30.12]
[05:35.58] Yeah' when it's thunderin' and lightnin'
[05:44.94] And the rain begin to pour
[05:54.46] When it's thunderin' and lightnin'
[06:02.62] And the wind begin to blow
[06:12.97] There are so many poor people
[06:20.63] That didn't have no place to go
[06:28.52]
