Al Aarons - Backwater Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it rains five days
And the skies turn black at night
I said, when it rains five days
And the skies turn black at night
Yeah, you know there's trouble in the lowlands
And everything ain't right

[Verse 2]
Well, when I woke up this mornin'
I couldn't even get outta my door (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I woke, when I woke, when I woke
When I woke up this mornin'
I couldn't even get outta my door
There was enough trouble
To make a poor girl wonder where she oughta go

[Verse 3]
Oh, 'bout that time they rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat
About five miles across the pond
Oh, they rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat
Rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat
About five miles across the pond
Yeah, I packed all my clothes and throwed 'em in
And they rowed me right along
[Verse 4]
That's why, that's why, that's why the blues up and called me
Called me to pack my clothes and go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The blues, the blues, the blues, the blues up and called me
Called me to pack my clothes and go
'Cause my house fell down, Lord
And I can't live there no more

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Come on and, come on and
Somebody please tell me
Tell me where to find a poor girl like me to go
Lord, can't you see I'm tired, can't you see I'm tired, can't you see I'm tired
And I don't feel like movin' no more
Yeah, but if I ever get my job, settle down
I'll be a mean so-and-so, so-and-so
