When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's takin' place
In the lowlands at night

I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
There's been enough trouble
To make a poor girl wonder where she wants to go

Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
I packed all my clothes
Throwed them in and they rowed me along

When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins to blow
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow
There's thousands of people
Ain't got no place to go

Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on the house
Where I used to live

Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down
And I can't live there no more

I can't move no more
I can't move no more
There ain't no place
For a poor old girl to go

Black girl, black girl
Don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold*

Her husband was a railroad man
He died a half mile out of town

His head was found 'neath the driving wheel
But his body was never, ever found

Black girl, black girl
Don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

'Neath the pines, 'neath the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered in the cold, deadly cold*

Now, he jumped on the Pea
This is a man, he's seventy-five years old and leaves home
When he leaves home he stay away three long years
Then he come a-rackin back
And while he was gone he had two little chillen
Lil boy an a lil girl, wife at home

Wife lies down an she dreams tonight
That husband was comin' back
She sit up on the side the bed one night
She 'gan to sing, here what she said

Dreamed last night and all night, night befo'

She dreamed last night and-a all night, night befo'

Little boy jumped up and go in to his mama

Here what she says
'Heard your papa, knockin' on my do'

Heard your papa, knockin' on my do'

She asked 'fore she would take him back
And she was a good Christian
She told her preacher, said
'I wouldn't take him back when he comes'

But when he calmly walks to the do' to commence
Knocks on his do' and commence to cryin'

Cryin' babe, have I ever done you wrong?
Lordy cried, my babe have I ever done you wrong?
Lovin' babe, have I ever done you wrong?
You know good 'n well, I'd had to have done wrong
Been gone three long years and never wrote a speck
Sent her a nickel of money

And he sit down a'gin an cry a'gin
Ya'll he said

Ever I have honey, will you forgive me, please?
Lord, ever have, will you forgive me , please?
Ever I have Lord, will you forgive me, please?

Girl, she wouldn't take him back
When she heard him singin' out there
She walked through the do'
With her hands a-high in the air
And she looked up to the God in the sky
Here what she says

You's a long time comin'
A-honey but you will come here
You's a long time comin'
A-hon but you will come here
You's a long time comin'
Baby, but you will come here

She sit down an tol her little boy
His wife says, I want son to play the piano a piece
Since you been gone so long
Let him know what he's done learned
Since you been gone

And the little boy sit down, begin to play
His little piano a piece
(guitar sound piano)

She sit down, she commence to cryin'
Lordy, have mercy on me
Oh Lord-y, have mercy on me
Oh, someday another
Lord, I may be free

She had her another piece, little girl
She told her little girl
Get on the piano and play her piece
But the last piece, the little girl comes out
And kept playin' this.

Now look-a-here, babe
I steal out at night
Ain't none of your business
You don't do me right

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go.

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Well, mama killed a chicken
She thought it was a duck
She put him on the table
With his legs stickin' up

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now, a nickel is a nickel
A dime is a dime
I need no girl
If she won't wind

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, you got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now she may look old
Ninety years
She ain't too old
To make you shed tears

She's got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now I told my girl
A week before last
The gait she's comin'
Is just a little too fast

She's got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go

Now look-a-here, babe
I steal out at night
Ain't none of your business
You don't do me right

You got to bottle it up and go
Well, she's got to bottle it up and go
Yes, them high-powered women
Sure got to bottle it up and go.

Have you got you a bull cow
Feed him morning grass
Have you got you a bull cow
Feed him morning grass
Cause when them heifers come around
Enjoy, yas, yas, yas

If you got you a bull cow
Be there with a long line
But one 'em heifer leave him
You know they on daddy's mind

Oh, bull cow, where you been so long?
Ay, bull cow, where you been so long?
I've been all out in the country
With my big bell on.

Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire

Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
