Back Water Blues - Lyrics & Chords


        C
Well it         rained five days and the sky was dark as night,
        F         C
Yes, it         rained five days and the sky was dark as         night.
        G7         F7         C
There's         trouble in the         lowlands t         onight.

I got up one morning,
   I couldn't even get out of my door (twice)
That was enough trouble to make a poor boy
   wonder where to go.

I went and stood up on a high old lonesome hill (twice)
I did all I could to look down on the house
   where I used to live.

It thundered and lightninged,
   and the wind began to blow (twice)
There were thousands of poor people
   didn't have no place to go.
