Tekst piosenki
Backwater at Blytheville, backed up all around
Backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner town
It was fifty families and children come to sink and drown
The water was risin' up at my friend’s door
The water was risin' up at my friend’s door
The man said to his women folk, «Lord, we’d better go»
The water was risin', got up in my bed
Lord, the water was rollin', got up to my bed
I thought I would take a trip, Lord, out on the big ice sled
Oh, I can hear, Lord, Lord, water upon my door
You know what I mean, look-a here
I hear the ice, Lord, Lord, was sinkin' down
I couldn’t get no boats there, Marion City gone down
So high the water was risin' our men sinkin' down
Man, the water was risin' at places all around
Boy, they’s all around
It was fifty men and children come to sink and drown
Oh, Lordy, women and grown men drown
Oh, women and children sinkin' down
Lord, have mercy
I couldn’t see nobody’s home and wasn’t no one to be found
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Backwater at Blytheville, Backwater all around
Backwater at Blytheville, done took Joiner town
To było pięćdziesiąt rodzin i dzieci, które tonęły i tonęły.
The water was risin 'up at my friend' s door
The water was risin 'up at my friend' s door
Mężczyzna rzekł do swoich kobiet: "panie, lepiej chodźmy»
The water was risin', got up in my bed
Lord, the water was rollin', got up to my bed
Myślałem, że wybieram się w podróż, panie, na wielkie lodowe sanie.
Oh, I can hear, Lord, Lord, water upon my door
Wiesz co mam na myśli, spójrz tutaj
I hear the ice, Lord, Lord, was sinkin ' down
I couldn ' t get no boats there, Marion City gone down
So high the water was risin 'our men sinkin' down
Człowieku, woda unosiła się w miejscach wokół
Boy, they ' s all around
Było pięćdziesięciu mężczyzn i dzieci, którzy tonęli i tonęli.
O Boże, kobiety i dorośli mężczyźni toną
Oh, women and children sinkin ' down
Panie, miej litość
Nie widziałem niczyjego domu i nie było nikogo do odnalezienia.
