“Kentucky Flood”
Words and Music by Marty Falle and Jonathan Holmberg

Rain came down and the river came up
And it stayed that way for days
Brown muddy water took everything
Carried it away
Don't go down to the river boy
Unless you’re ready to die
I said Oh no Lord
I'm just watching the river go by

Rain came down and the people all ran
But they could not win the race
Brown muddy water over took them
And swept them all away
Don't go down to the river boy
You'll never make it to the other side
And I said Oh no Lord
I'm just watching the river go by

Kentucky River go by
Lord I've never seen it so high
Rain came down like diamond daggers
From an unforgiving sky
Don't go down to the river boy
Where so many others have died
And I said Oh no Lord
I'm just watching the river go by

Rain Rain it came down
And flipped them houses all around
They said you better run from this town
You better run away from this town

Rain came down and the river came up
And turned houses into boats
Brown muddy water destroyed them
They were never meant to float
Don't come down to the river boy
The waters much to high
And I said Oh no Lord
I'm just watching the river go by

Sun came out and the river went down
The people bowed down to pray
Brown muddy water took everything
Except their souls that day
Don't go down to the river boy
It's too late to save their lives
And I said Oh no lord
I'm just watching the river go by

Kentucky River go by
I swear you could hear it cry
Black muddy water will rise again
So many poor people will die
Don't go down to the river boy
As so many others have tried
And I said Oh no Lord
I'm just watching the river
