Well
Blackwater at Blytheville, done churned all around
The backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner Town

It was fifty families and children, come to sink and drown

Oh, the water was rising up to my friend's door
Yeah, the water was rising, up to my friend's door

The man said to his women folk, "Lord, we'd got to go!"
We had to get out of there!

Woah, the water was rising, yeah, got up all in my bed!
Yeah, the water was rising, got all up in my bed!

I thought I would take a trip, out on that old ice sled

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

I couldn't get no boats
Nobody go in them no mo'

So the water was rising, I'm not sinking down
Woah, the water was rising, people's sinking down

It was fifty men's, women and children 
Come to sink and drown

Lord, the old men and women
The men and women they drown

Oh, women and children's
Oh, they's sinking down

I couldn't see nobody's house
Nobody could be found

Backwater at Blytheville, done churned all around
Backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner Town

It was fifty families and children
Come to sink and drown
