back water blues

Singer:knight, chris

where the hell the sun

it just rain for days

all this river rising and cryin'

washin' us away

if we let go now

we're let our love drown

an' baby this cold blue river

might never go down

so put up your bags

an' get away from the door

put up that rusty pistol

babe i ain't mad anymore

if you leave me now

and head for higher ground

baby this river blue back water

gonna take me down

baby i can't let you go

i go under if you leave me here alone

oh this backwater blues will be gone

if we hold on

baby just let the hard times row

we'll wail outta here when the water's low

these backwater blues will be gone

if we hold on

this river ain't deep

it's just a little cold

so put your arms around me

we find us some stepping stones

baby hold on tight

'cause dry land's in sight

we'll be out of this backwater blues

if we hold on

baby i can't let you go

i go under if you leave me here alone

oh this backwater blues will be gone

if we hold on

baby just let the hard times row

we'll wail outta here when the water's low

these backwater blues will be gone

if we hold on

baby these backwater blues will be gone

if we hold on
