Flood water spreadin’ all arround People everywhere tryin’ to make higher ground Many met their maker in a watery grave If your neighbour had a boat, well ya mighta been saved Mighta been saved Bibles floatin’ in the water, had to leave it all behind Paid her no mind People straddlin’ their rooftops Water reachin’ to their kness Heard the preacher holler, “lord, lord, lord Have mercy, if you please!” Don’t you know, it rained, noah, where were you” Cows couldn’t swim, drownin’ two by two Flood water far as my eyes could see Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory Never leave my memory
