Early early one morning, water was comin' in my door Early one morning, water was comin' in my door It was the old high(?) river, tellin' us to get ready and go It was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' wind It was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' wind If I get away this time, I will never come here again Hey my baby was cryin', I didn't have a thing to eat Hey hey hey, I didn't have a thing to eat Hey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the street I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around Hey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren't no boats around Hey that looks like people, I've gotta stay right here and drown Hey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the stream Hey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the stream It was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream
