Flood water spreadin’ all arround
People everywhere tryin’ to make higher ground
Many met their maker in a watery grave
If your neighbour had a boat, well ya mighta been saved
Mighta been saved
Bibles floatin’ in the water, had to leave it all behind
Paid her no mind
People straddlin’ their rooftops
Water reachin’ to their kness
Heard the preacher holler, “lord, lord, lord
Have mercy, if you please!”
Don’t you know, it rained, noah, where were you”
Cows couldn’t swim, drownin’ two by two
Flood water far as my eyes could see
Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory
Never leave my memory
