paroles de chanson Five Feet High And Rising - Early Mix, 1987 - Johnny Cash

How high's the water, mama?
Two feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's two feet high and rising
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
'Cause 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 rising
How high's the water, mama?
Three feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's three feet high and rising
Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleeping in the willow trees
Cow's in water up past her knees
Three feet high and rising
How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's four feet high and rising
Hey, come look through the window pane
The bus is coming, it's gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain
Four feet high and rising
How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's five feet high and rising
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We got to head for higher ground
We can't come back 'til the water goes down
Five feet high and rising
Well, it's five feet high and rising
