Backwater Blues Lyrics

Backwater Blues

Where the hell the sun , it just rain for days
All this river rising and cryin' , washin us away
If we let go now , we're let our love drown
An' baby this cold blue river , might never go down

So put up your bags , an' get away from the door
Put up that rusty pistol , babe I ain't mad anymore
If you leave me now , and head for higher ground
Baby this river blue back water , gonna take me down

Baby I can't let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
Baby just let the hard times row
We'll wail outta here when the water's low
These backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on

Solo

This river ain't deep , it's just a little cold
So put your arms around me , we find us some stepping'stones
Baby hold on tight , 'cause dry land's in sight
We'll be out of this backwater blues , if we hold on

Baby I can't let you go
I go under if you leave me here alone
Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
Baby just let the hard times row
We'll wail outta here when the water's low
These backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
Baby these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
