Backwater Blues by Dinah Washington
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's takin' place in the lowlands at night
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
There's been enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder
where she want to go
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the
pond
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the
pond
I packed all my clothes, throwed them in and they rowed
me along
When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins
