High water everywhere - Voodoo

Lyrics by：Charley Patton

Composed by：Charley Patton

Well backwater done rose all around Sumner now

Drove me down the line

Backwater done rose at Sumner

Drove poor Charley down the line

Lord I'll tell the world the water

Done crept through this town

Lord the whole round country

Drink our overflowed

Lord the whole round country

Man is overflowed

And I would goto the hilly country

But they got me barred

Now the water now mama

Done took Charley's town

Well they tell me the water

Done took Charley's town

Boy I'm goin' to Vicksburg

For that high of mine

Lord the water done rushed all over

Down old Jackson road

Lord the water done raised

Over the Jackson road

I'm goin' back to the hilly country

Won't be worried no more

Well backwater I water

I water every way

Don't row so more don't

Well backwater I water

I water every way

Don't run so more know

Don't no tell me water well through

Done crept through this town

Well backwater rose all around Sumner now

Drove me down the line

Backwater done rose at Sumner

Drove poor Charley down the line

Ever cold to the run in run

Was no one to be found
