Heavy Water

Delta wind a blowing like a horn man moan Crying stormy, stormy weather on an old trombone Yonder dog barking up on that hill Saying if you don't get on boy, then somebody will Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Grab hold to me baby, hold on still If the levee don't hold us than the spirit will I ain't heard no thunder, ain't seen no rain since The '27 flood upon the Pontchartrain Ain't no time for forgiveness, no time for grief Ain't no time for the magic of that old big chief Just climb on the hatches, and batten them down It's forty feet of water to the higher ground Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Where is my maker, where is my grace Blowing down the river at a breakneck pace Crying buckets of tears on a helpless ground With the breath of a lion and a low moaning sound It was seven long months, dry as a bone They were praying for the water they were praying for home There goes my brother, knee deep in flood Well you can't wash away all the soul in his blood Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down Oh my my, oh my my, heavy water coming down
