Wild Water Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Wild Water Blues

I woke up this morning : I couldn't even get out of my
door
Said this wild water got me covered : and I ain't got no
place to go

Now I hear my mama crying : but I just can't help myself
Now this wild water keep on rising : I got to get help
from someone else

Now good morning Mr wild water : why did you stop in my
front door
Says you reaches from Cairo : clean down to the Gulf of
Mexico

Now don't you hear your mother crying : weeping and
moaning all night long
Because old man wild water done been here : took her best
friends and gone

Now look a‑here Mr wild water : why do you treat me so
doggone mean
Says you took my house out of Cairo : carried it down in
New Orleans
