Highwater (Soldier)

Stranded on a rooftop No help is comin' I wanna rise up So that (?) at home The highwater overflowin' That highwater risin' And we're lost at home My cup is empty My mouth is dry Old hands are beatin' down From up on high My cup is empty And my mouth is dry The old, dirty water Is on the rise (?) blew out here To the city The devil runnin' loose Lord, have mercy Said the levy "Lord, have mercy" The devil runnin' loose He blew our levy But God gave Noah That rebel sign Won't be water But fire next time God gave Noah That rebel sign It won't be water But fire next time Stranded on the rooftop Of our home Highwater risin' No help has come On the rooftop Of our home That highwater risin' And no help has come That highwater risin' And we lost our home
