[00:16.220] High water risin', rising night and day
[00:20.220] All the gold and silver are being stolen away
[00:24.180] Big Joe turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind
[00:29.100] He made it to Kansas city, twelfth street and vine
[00:33.810] Nothin' standing there
[00:37.990] High water everywhere
[00:44.110] High water rising the shacks are sliding down
[00:48.450] Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town
[00:52.240] Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall
[00:56.870] Say you dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all
[01:01.840] It's tough out there
[01:06.610] High water everywhere
[01:11.550] I got a craven love for blazin' speed
[01:14.000] I got a hopped up mustang ford
[01:16.380] Jump into the wagon, love
[01:17.880] Throw your panties overboard
[01:20.760] I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
[01:25.350] I'm no pig without a wig, I hope you treat me kind
[01:29.630] Things are breakin' up out there
[01:34.450] High water everywhere
[01:40.500] High water rising, six inches above my head
[01:44.380] Coffins droppin' in the street like balloons made out of lead
[01:48.910] Water poured into vicksburg, don't know what I'm gonna do
[01:53.500] Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see I'm drowning too
[01:57.870] It's rough out there
[02:02.180] High water everywhere
[02:07.450] Well, George Lewes told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
[02:12.210] You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view
[02:16.750] They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on highway 5
[02:21.360] Judge says to the high sheriff, I want them dead or alive
[02:25.770] Either one, I don't care
[02:29.790] High water everywhere
[02:35.160] Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
[02:40.150] I'm preachin' the word of god, I'm puttin' out your eyes
[02:44.480] I asked fat Nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf
[02:48.850] As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself
[02:53.110] I told her I didn't really care
[02:57.590] High water everywhere
[03:03.300] I get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
[03:07.960] Keepin' away from the women, I'm givin' them lots of room
[03:12.320] Thunder rollin' over clarksdale, everythin' a-lookin' blue
[03:16.790] I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too
[03:21.150] It's bad out there
[03:25.200] High water everywhere
