When the Water Rise Up (New)
March 27, 2009 7:06 PM
A rerecording my song "When The Water Rise Up," done as a sort of jug band gospel tune. With the Red River flooding, it seemed somehow appropriate.
LYRICS:
When the levee bow
When the water rise up
When the water rise up
When the water rise up
Got no place to go
When the water rise up
When the water rise up
When the water rise up
I hear the storm, man
I hear it blow
Ain't no storm can move me
Got no place to go
Wind whips the windows
Storm's at my door
Hurricane don't you blow now
You ain't welcome anymore
Flood at my feet now
Ain't gonna scare me though
Ain't no storm can move me
Got no place to go

You got of a Leon Redbone thing happening here. Nice.

I like that "casual gathering" atmosphere it has; I imagine people just grabbing random bottles and cans and joining in, clinking and clattering.
