Five Feet High And Rising - Adam Tas

作词：John R Cash/Charlie Williams

作曲：John R Cash/Charlie Williams

How high's the water mama

She said two feet high and risin'

How high's the water papa

He said it's two feet high and risin'

We can make it to the road

In a homemade boat

That's the only thing

We got left that'll float

It's already over

All the wheat and the oats

Two feet high and risin'

How high's the water mama

She said three feet high and risin'

How high's the water papa

He said it's three feet high and risin'

Well the hives are gone

I've lost my bees

The chickens are sleepin'

In the willow trees

Cow's in water up past her knees

Three feet high and risin'

How high's the water mama

She said four feet high and risin'

How high's the water papa

He said it's 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'll be blessed

With a little more rain

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water mama

She said five feet high and risin'

How high's the water papa

He said it's five feet high and risin'

Well the rails are washed out

North of town

We gotta head for higher ground

We can't come back

Till the water goes down

Five feet high and risin'

Well it's five feet high and risin'
