Flood Water Rising

Well the rain keep falling
All through the night
And the thunder keep rolling
No end in sight
Flood water keep rising
You better pray to see the light

The wind is howling lord!
And the sun is turning black
40 days and 40 nights
Down a one way track
All my tears all my tears
Won’t bring my baby back
Oh no!

Flood water keep rising
You know that it's true
When the levee comes down
It’s gonna roll all over you

Well I’m standing on a roof top
I got water to my knees
I’m standing on a roof top cryin’
And I got water to my knees
I scream out at the heavens, Lord!
Why you turn your back on me?
Why?

Flood water keep rising
You know that it’s true
When the levee comes down
It’s gonna roll all over you

Flood water keep rising
You know that it's true
When the levee comes down
It’s gonna roll all over you
You know it's true

Flood water keep rising
Ain't nothing you can do
When the levee comes down
It’s gonna roll all over you
