about

Recorded February 2013

lyrics

I went down to the Mississippi River
To get me some work on the levee
But when I got to the levee heard the captain say
Well look out son that levee ‘bout to wash away

Well the river is deep (river is deep)
Water is high (water is high)
Gotta get to higher ground if we gonna stay dry
Well the flood waters are comin'
Gotta hit the ground a-runnin'
River is deep, water is high oh lord

Well the river is deep (river is deep)
Water is high (water is high)
The levee won't hold nigh another night
So grab up all your belongin’s
Gotta get outta here by mornin'
River is deep, water is high oh lord

Well the river is deep (river is deep)
Water is high (water is high)
All my corn and cotton are gonna die
When the rent man come, no money to pay
No food upon my table
River is deep, water is high oh lord

Well the river is deep (river is deep)
Water is high (water is high)
Got them worried blues make me wanna cry
Water wash away everything I own
Put me out of house and home
River is deep, water is high oh lord
