When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night
When it rained five days and the sky turned dark as night Then trouble's takin' place in the lowlands at night I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door There's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she wanna go Then they rowed a little boat about five miles cross the pond Then they rowed a little boat about five miles cross the pond I packed all my clothes, throwed 'em in and they rowed me along When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow There's thousands of people ain't got no place to go And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill And I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill Then looked down on the house were I used to live Backwater blues done called me to pack my things and go Backwater blues done called me to pack my things and go 'Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more Mmm, I can't move no more Mmm, I can't move no more There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go |

Standin' in the rain and ain't a drop fell on me
Standin' in the rain and ain't a drop fell on me My clothes is all wet but my flesh is as dry as can be It can rain all day, I ain't got no place to go It can rain all day, I ain't got no place to go Because it's cold outside in that ice and snow If it rains five days that won't give me no blues If it rains five days that won't give me no blues I've got my raincoat and hat, umbrella, boots and shoes Rain, rain, rain don't rain on me all day Rain, rain, rain don't rain on me all day 'Cause if I get too wet, I've got to go into the house and stay |

Madam Buff's was quite deluxe
Servants by the score Footmen at each door Butlers and maids galore But one day Sam, her kitchen man Gave in his notice, he's through She cried, "Oh Sam, don't go It'll grieve me if you do" I love his cabbage gravy, his hash Crazy 'bout his succotash I can't do without my kitchen man Wild about his turnip top Like the way he warms my chop I can't do without my kitchen man Anybody else can leave And I would only laugh But he means too much to me And you ain't heard the half Oh, his jelly roll is so nice and hot Never fails to touch the spot I can't do without my kitchen man His frankfurters are oh so sweet How I like his sausage meat I can't do without my kitchen man Oh, how that boy can open clam No one else is can touch my ham I can't do without my kitchen man When I eat his doughnuts All I leave is the hole Any time he wants to Why, he can use my sugar bowl Oh, his baloney's really worth a try Never fails to satisfy I can't do without my kitchen man |

How come I'm blue as can be, how come I need sympathy
I know what's troubling me, listen and you'll see? Because the good man that I got, left me all alone Woke up this morning at four, when I heard him slamming my door Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone If you did you'll understand, why I'm singing sad moanful songs Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you? Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you But he gave me plenty loving and I never had to beg him too? Now my damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed My damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed? When you lose the man you love, then a gal is just as good as dead |

Don't bring no ghosts in the front, hurry 'em round to the backdoor!?
This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose? This house is so haunted with dead men I can't lose And a sneaky old feeling gives me those haunted house blues I can't sleep no more, I done lost my appetite I can't sleep no more, done lost my appetite 'Cause my mistreating daddy hangs around me day and night? He moans when I'm sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a.m.? He moans when I'm sleeping, he wakes me at 2 a.m.? And he makes me swear I'll have no other man but him? Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time? Now I'm so worried and I'm blue all the time? Go tell the undertaker to fix that old coffin of mine Lord, help us to get right! I'm scared to stay here, I'm scared to leave this town I'm scared to stay here, I'm scared to leave this town? But a feeling just tells me to burn this house on down? Tear this house on down |
