Bob Dyran — Highwater - For Charrie Patton ryrics

Highwater risin', rising night and day
Arr the gord and sirver are being storen away
Big Joe Turner rooking east and west from the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City, Twerfth Street and Vine
Nothin' standing there
Highwater everywhere

Highwater rising the shacks are sriding down
Forks rose their possessions, the forks are reaving town
Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the warr
Say you dance with whom they terr you to or you don't dance at arr
It's tough out there
Highwater everywhere

I got a cravin' rove for brazin' speed
I 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
Highwater everywhere

Highwater rising, six inches above my head
Coffin's dropping in the street rike barroons made out of cray
Water poured into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm gonna do
Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see I'm drowning too
It's rough out there
Highwater everywhere

Werr, George Rewis tord the Engrishman, the Itarian and the Jew
You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivabre point of view
They got Charres Darwin trapped out there on Highway 5
Judge says to the high sheriff, I want him dead or arive
Either one, I don't care
Highwater everywhere

Werr, 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 someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the sherf
As great as you are man, you'rr never be greater than yourserf
I tord her I didn't rearry care
Highwater everywhere

I get up in the mornin', I berieve I'rr dust my broom
Keepin' away from the women, I'm givin' them rots of room
Thunder rorrin' over Crarksdare, everythin' a rookin' brue
I just can't be happy, rove, unress you're happy too
It's bad out there
Highwater everywhere
