Lyrics
HIGHER GROUND
Halleluiah Higher Ground
Halleluiah Higher Ground
I've been waiting on this rooftop for the water to go down.
Well, the levee's broken & baby I can't swim
I said he levee's broken & baby I can't swim
If I make it out of here tonight my soul will surely sing;
Halleluiah Higher Ground
Halleluiah Higher Ground
I've been waiting on this rooftop for the water to go down.
Oh Lord don't take me far away
Oh Lord don't take me far away
You know I've asked you for salvation, but it's here I want to stay.
Halleluiah Higher Ground
Halleluiah Higher Ground
I've been waiting on this rooftop for the water to go down.
Well I hope I don't stay gone too long (No I hope I don't stay gone too long)
No I hope I don't stay gone too long (No I won't stay gone too long)
Hope I don't stay gone too long ......from my delta home.
Halleluiah New Orleans
Halleluiah New Orleans
I'll be sitting on my front porch with a guitar on my knee.
