Backwater bluesWhere the hell the sun, it just rain for daysAll this river rising and cryin', washin' us away If we let go now, we're let our love drown An' baby this cold blue river, might never go down So put up your bags, an' get away from the door Put up that rusty pistol, babe I ain't mad anymore If you leave me now, and head for higher ground Baby this river blue back water, gonna take me down Baby I can't let you go I go under if you leave me here alone Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on Baby just let the hard times row We'll wail outta here when the water's low These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on This river ain't deep, it's just a little cold So put your arms around me, we find us some stepping stones Baby hold on tight, 'cause dry land's in sight We'll be out of this backwater blues, if we hold on Baby I can't let you go I go under if you leave me here alone Oh this backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on Baby just let the hard times row We'll wail outta here when the water's low These backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on Baby these backwater blues will be gone, if we hold on |
