How high the water Mama

Two feet high and risin

How high the water Papa

She said feet high and risin

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat

that the only thing we got left that float

It already over all the wheat and the oats

Two feet high and risin

How high the water Mama

Three feet high and risin

How high the water Papa

She said three feet high and risin

Well the hives are gone I lost my bees

The chickens are sleepin in the willow trees

Cow in water up past her knees

Three feet high and risin

How high the water Mama

Four feet high and risin

How high the water Papa

She said four feet high and risin

Hey come look through the window pane

The bus is comin gonna take us to the train

Looks like we be blessed with a little more rain

Four feet high and risin

How high the water Mama

Five feet high and risin

How high the water Papa

She said five feet high and risin

Well the rails are washed out north of town

We gotta head for higher ground

We can come back till the water goes down

Five feet high and risin

Well it five feet high and risin
