Back Water Blues - Dinah Washington

Written by：Bessie Smith/Dinah Washington

When rains five days

And the skies turned dark as night

Oooh

When rains five days

And the skies turned dark as night

Then troubles

Takin' place

And you know everything ain't right

When I woke up this mornin'

Couldn't even get out of my door

When I woke up this mornin'

Couldn't get out of my door

There was enough trouble to make a poor girl

Wonder where she's ought go

They rowed a little boat

About five miles across the farm

And they rowed a little boat

Rowed a little boat

About five miles across the farm

I packed all my clothes

Throwed them in

And they rowed me right along

When it thunders and lightnin'

And the wind begins to blow

Can't you hear the thunder

Can't you hear the lightnin

Can't you hear the wind beginnin to blow

Makes you think about all the people

That ain't got no

No place to go

Then I went on hill

Yes I stood on a lonesome hill

Then I will

Stood on a high

High old lonesome hill

I looked down with tears in my eyes

On the house

Where I used to live

That's what a blues don't call me

Call me to pack my things and go

Oohh

That's what a blues don't call me

Call me to pack my clothes and go

'Cause my house done fell down

And I can't

Live there no more

Hmmm

Where is it

Can't you see I'm tired

And I don't feel like

Feel like movin' no more

If I ever get my nerves settle down

I'll

Be a mean so and so
