Lyrics
Delta Blues
Water's risin' levee's gonna break
Water's risin' levee's gonna break
Hearts grow empty when they're full of ache
Waves are rollin' lappin' at the door
Waves are rollin' lappin at the door
Woman told me won't stay here no more
CHORUS
We shuttered up the windows & boarded up the doors
When we felt a storm begin to brew
Now scattered 'cross the Delta lost in the debris
Lies the victims of the Delta Blues oo ooos
Boat is sinkin water's seepin' in
Boat is sinkin' water's seepin in
Rain keeps pourin' & we don't know how to swim
INSTR CHORUS
Muddy bottom swallow up our tears
Muddy bottom swallow up our tears
All our memories slowly disappear
