TheOldMole Lyr Req: Night of the Johnstown Flood (54* d) RE: Lyr Req: Night of the Johnstown Flood 09 Jun 00


Other flood songs include Bessie Smith's "Backwater Blues" and Charley Patton's "High Water Everywhere," both about the same Delta flood.

Springsteen's magnificent "Highway Patrolman" has the line:

Me and Frankie dancin' with Marie While the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"

in other words, I have no pertinent information. I had always wondered about this song, too. Is it possibly an instrumental?
