California Mudslide Lyrics


Lightning Hopkins California Mudslide


Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom,
baby, little girl, fore this water rise
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom,
little girl, fore this water rise
You know I must-a been born by the devil, po' Lightnin
don't wanna be baptized

See, it's rainin' in ol' California's the reason I said
it, the houses slidin' down off the hill
Many, many many friends have lost their home, just
because the water was falling so hard,
And the mudslide had taken their home
And I said

Lettin' ya know how it's happenin' now

Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom,
baby, po' Lightnin can't feel satisfied
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom,
po' Lightnin just can't feel satisfied
Just you know many friends of mine lost they home, by
that old mudslide

Don't take me to be wrong people, forgive me for my
mistake
You know, please, please, please, forgive me for my
mistake
Well, after all that flood come in California, do you
know, the good Lord old ground begin to shake?
That's that earthquake that was comin'

Have mercy
