| | | Artist: | BOB DYLAN |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | High Water (For Charley Patton) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 149 | | | | Lyrics: | High water risin' - risin' night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big
Joe Turner lookin' East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas
City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere
High
water risin', the shacks are slidin' down
Folks lose their possessions - folks are leaving
town
Bertha Mason shook it - broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You're dancin'
with whom they tell you to
Or you don't dance at all."
It's tough out there
High water
everywhere
I got a cravin' love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump
into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose
his mind
I'm no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out
there
High water everywhere
High water risin', six inches 'bove my head
Coffins
droppin' in the street
Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't
know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me," she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin'
too?"
It's rough out there
High water everywhere
Well, George Lewis told the
Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
"You can't open your mind, boys
To every conceivable
point of view."
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the
High Sheriff,
"I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don't care."
High Water
everywhere
The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the Word
of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, sh | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
