Song | Flood Water |
Artist | Eric Bibb |
Album | Booker's Guitar |
Flood water spreadin’ all arround (2x) | |
People everywhere tryin’ to make higher ground | |
Many met their Maker in a watery grave (2x) | |
If your neighbour had a boat, well ya mighta been saved | |
Mighta been saved | |
Bibles floatin’ in the water, had to leave it all behind (2x) | |
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind | |
Paid her no mind | |
People straddlin’ their rooftops – | |
Water reachin’ to their kness (2x) | |
Heard the preacher holler, “Lord, Lord, Lord | |
Have Mercy, if You please!” | |
Don’t you know, it rained, Noah, where were you” (2x) | |
Cows couldn’t swim, drownin’ two by two | |
Flood water far as my eyes could see (2x) | |
Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory | |
Never leave my memory |
Flood water spreadin' all arround 2x | |
People everywhere tryin' to make higher ground | |
Many met their Maker in a watery grave 2x | |
If your neighbour had a boat, well ya mighta been saved | |
Mighta been saved | |
Bibles floatin' in the water, had to leave it all behind 2x | |
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind | |
Paid her no mind | |
People straddlin' their rooftops | |
Water reachin' to their kness 2x | |
Heard the preacher holler, " Lord, Lord, Lord | |
Have Mercy, if You please!" | |
Don' t you know, it rained, Noah, where were you" 2x | |
Cows couldn' t swim, drownin' two by two | |
Flood water far as my eyes could see 2x | |
Nineteen hundred, twentyseven never leave my memory | |
Never leave my memory |
