OLD FLOOD SONG

the rain is coming you’d best beware
those old floodwaters they just don’t care
those old floodwaters they sure don’t play
they’ll pull you under and
carry you away, carry you away
carry you away

my woman went down to Luzianne
said she gonna find her a better man
but it weren’t no good man
the poor girl found
in deep floodwaters that
poor girl drowned, poor girl drowned
poor girl drowned

you think that river is your good friend
flowing lazy around the bend
but come a storm it'll surge and swell
your gentle river will turn to hell
turn to hell
turn to hell

from a three story building just across town
i was watchin’ the rain come pouring down
underneath that stormy sky
saw my best friends
house float by, house float by
house float by

you think that river is your good friend
flowing lazy around the bend
but come a storm it'll surge and swell
your gentle river will turn to hell
turn to hell
turn to hell

oh, lordy lord lord....
i believe i been here a bit too long
i’m tired of singing this old flood song
i’d best be moving to higher ground
this very evening i’m
northward bound, northward bound
northward bound

tired of singing this old flood song
