- Flood Water Lyrics / with translationsFlood water spreadin' all arround (2x)
People everywhere tryin' to make higher ground
Many met their Maker in a watery grave (2x)
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
(2x)
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind
Paid her no mind
People straddlin' their rooftops -
Water reachin' to their kness (2x)
Heard the preacher holler, "Lord, Lord, Lord
Have Mercy, if You please!"
Don't you know, it rained, Noah, where were you" (2x)
Cows couldn't swim, drownin' two by two
Flood water far as my eyes could see (2x)
Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory
Never leave my memory
People everywhere tryin' to make higher ground
Many met their Maker in a watery grave (2x)
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
(2x)
Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind
Paid her no mind
People straddlin' their rooftops -
Heard the preacher holler, "Lord, Lord, Lord
Have Mercy, if You please!"
Don't you know, it rained, Noah, where were you" (2x)
Cows couldn't swim, drownin' two by two
Flood water far as my eyes could see (2x)
Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory
Never leave my memory
