Songtexte Back Water Blues - Bessie Smith , James P. Johnson
When
it
rains
five
days
and
the
skies
turn
dark
as
night
When
it
rains
five
days
and
the
skies
turn
dark
as
night
Then
trouble's
takin'
place
In
the
lowlands
at
night
I
woke
up
this
mornin',
can't
even
get
out
of
my
door
I
woke
up
this
mornin',
can't
even
get
out
of
my
door
There's
been
enough
trouble
To
make
a
poor
girl
wonder
where
she
wants
to
go
Then
they
rowed
a
little
boat
about
five
miles
'cross
the
pond
Then
they
rowed
a
little
boat
about
five
miles
'cross
the
pond
I
packed
all
my
clothes
Throwed
them
in
and
they
rowed
me
along
When
it
thunders
and
lightnin'
and
when
the
wind
begins
to
blow
When
it
thunders
and
lightnin'
and
the
wind
begins
to
blow
There's
thousands
of
people
Ain't
got
no
place
to
go
Then
I
went
and
stood
upon
some
high
old
lonesome
hill
Then
I
went
and
stood
upon
some
high
old
lonesome
hill
Then
looked
down
on
the
house
Where
I
used
to
live
Backwater
blues
done
call
me
to
pack
my
things
and
go
Backwater
blues
done
call
me
to
pack
my
things
and
go
'Cause
my
house
fell
down
And
I
can't
live
there
no
more
I
can't
move
no
more
I
can't
move
no
more
There
ain't
no
place
For
a
poor
old
girl
to
go
