Текст песни Tallahatchie Blues - Rory Block

Tallahatchie River risin', Lord, it's mighty bad
Tallahatchie River risin', Lord, it's mighty bad
Some people on Tallahatchie done lost everything they had
Well, some people on the Delta, wondering what to do
Some people on the Delta, wondering what to do
If they don't build some levees, don't know what become of you
Now, the high water rising, got me troubled in mind
Well, High water rising, got me troubled in mind
I got to go, baby, and leave my daddy behind
I said, I got to go now and leave my sweet daddy behind
Lord, this water's risin', and I sure can't swim
Lord, this water is risin', and I sure can't swim
And if it keep on risin', I sure gon' follow him
Gon' pack my suitcase, go back to Tennessee
Gon' pack my suitcase, go back to Tennessee
Lord, the Tallahatchie River done got the best of me
Tallahatchie River risin', Lord, it's mighty bad
Tallahatchie River risin', Lord, it's mighty bad
Some people on Tallahatchie done lost everything they had
