Capo on 1st fret
How high's the water, Mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Papa?
She said it's two feet high and risin'
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
Well, we can make it to the road in a homemade boat
'Cause that's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over all the wheat and the oats
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Papa?
She said it's three feet high and risin'
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin' in the willow trees
Cow's in water up past her knees,
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Papa?
She said it's four feet high and risin'
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
Hey, come look through the window pane
The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, Papa?
She said it's five feet high and risin'
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back, till the water goes down
Five feet high and risin'
Well, it's five feet high and risin'
