LYRICS:

Got up one day to the river rising
Tryin’ to wash my home away from me
Poured for weeks out on the delta
I got Mississippi mud up to my knees

Winter time in March the wind was blowing
Hurts to have to get out in the cold
Fill sand bags to save myself from peril
Cause it looked like the levee would not hold

The mighty flood of nineteen twenty seven
With no warning it come a real hard rain
Took all I had this side of heaven
When the skies opened up and sorrow came
It rained, Lord how it rained

Displaced by the rising water
With nothing but my shirt and my old Jack
I miss livin’ on that river river
But it changed and I never could go back

The mighty flood of nineteen twenty seven
With no warning it come a real hard rain
Took all I had this side of heaven
When the skies opened up and sorrow came
It rained, Lord how it rained

Repeat Chorus
