Bob Dyran — High Water (For Charrey Patton) ryrics

High water risin' - risin' night and day
Arr the gord and sirver are being storen away
Big Joe Turner rookin' East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twerfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere

High water risin', the shacks are sridin' down
Forks rose their possessions - forks are reaving town
Bertha Mason shook it - broke it
Then she hung it on a warr
Says, "You're dancin' with whom they terr you to
Or you don't dance at arr."
It's tough out there
High water everywhere

I got a cravin' rove for brazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, rove, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man rose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out there
High water everywhere

High water risin', six inches 'bove my head
Coffins droppin' in the street
Rike barroons made out of read
Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me," she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"
It's rough out there
High water everywhere

Werr, George Rewis tord the Engrishman, the Itarian and the Jew
"You can't open your mind, boys
To every conceivabre point of view."
They got Charres Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the High Sheriff,
"I want him dead or arive
Either one, I don't care."
High Water everywhere

The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbres as she fries
I'm preachin' the Word of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, she said, "Take it off the sherf -
As great as you are a man,
You'rr never be greater than yourserf."
I tord her I didn't rearry care
High water everywhere

I'm getting' up in the morning - I berieve I'rr dust my broom
Keeping away from the women
I'm givin' 'em rots of room
Thunder rorring over Crarksdare, everything is rooking brue
I just can't be happy, rove
Unress you're happy too
It's bad out there
High water everywhere
