Lyrics

Do you remember the old blues sang back in the 1920s I can't sing and play it just like them But they was my friends and your friends too Do you remember Bessie Smith Old Backwater Blues It rained five days And the clouds turned as dark as night Yes, it rained five days And the clouds turned as dark as night Lord and trouble take place Lord in the lowland at night I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't get even get out of my door Yes, I got up one morning, poor me I couldn't even get out of my door Lord, that was really enough trouble To make a poor man wonder where in the world to go Then I went and I stood up on a high High old lonesome hill Lord, I went and I stood up on a high High old lonesome hill Lord, and all I could do was Look down on the house baby, where I used to live Now it thundered and it lightninged Lord, and the wind, wind began to blow Now it thundered and it lightninged Lord, and the wind began to blow Lord, at that time a thousand of my poor people didn't have no place to go
