Lyrics Backwater Blues (Live Newport, US / 1958) - Dinah Washington
When
it
rained
five
days
And
the
skies
turned
dark
at
night
When
it
rained
five
days
And
the
skies
turned
dark
at
night
There
was
trouble
takin'
place
In
the
lowland
at
night
I
woke
up
this
mornin'
Couldn't
even
get
out
of
my
door
I
woke
up
this
mornin'
Couldn't
even
get
out
of
my
door
Enough
trouble
to
make
a
poor
woman
Wonder
where
she's
gonna
go
They
rowed
a
little
boat
About
five
miles
across
the
farm
Said
they
rowed
a
little
boat
About
five
miles
across
the
farm
I
packed
up
all
of
my
clothes,
trowed
them
in
And
they
rowed
me
along
Where
it
thundered
and
lightnin'
And
the
wind
began
to
blow
Said
it
thundered
and
lightnin'
And
the
wind
began
to
blow
There
was
thousands
of
people
They
had
no
place
to
go
I
went
out
and
stood
up
On
a
high
old
lonesome
hill
I
went
out
and
stood
up
On
a
high
old
lonesome
hill
I
looked
down
on
the
house
Where
I
used
to
live
Back
water
blues
that
calls
me
To
pack
my
things
and
go
Back
water
blues
that
calls
me
To
pack
my
things
and
go
Cause
my
house
fell
down
And
I
can't
live
there
no
more
Ooh,
I
can't
live
there
no
more
Ooh,
I
can't
live
there
no
more
There
ain't
no
place
for
a
poor
woman
to
go
