Текст песни High Water Everywhere Part 2 (Charlie Patton) с переводом

Backwater at Blytheville, backed up all around

Backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner town

It was fifty families and children come to sink and drown

The water was risin' up at my friend’s door

The water was risin' up at my friend’s door

The man said to his women folk, «Lord, we’d better go»

The water was risin', got up in my bed

Lord, the water was rollin', got up to my bed

I thought I would take a trip, Lord, out on the big ice sled

Oh, I can hear, Lord, Lord, water upon my door

You know what I mean, look-a here

I hear the ice, Lord, Lord, was sinkin' down

I couldn’t get no boats there, Marion City gone down

So high the water was risin' our men sinkin' down

Man, the water was risin' at places all around

Boy, they’s all around

It was fifty men and children come to sink and drown

Oh, Lordy, women and grown men drown

Oh, women and children sinkin' down

Lord, have mercy

I couldn’t see nobody’s home and wasn’t no one to be found
