Kentucky River Bank Blues (Country Blues)

Подробнее о видео

Created with Udio.com, majority of the lyrics mine, I wanted to try to get as close to a 1927 flood Blues song as I could get, almost all the songs I have heard are about the Mississippi River flooding so went with the Kentucky River and Country Blues instead of Delta Blues

[Verse 1 – 12-bar blues]
Woke up dis mornin’, water risin’ to my door
Woke up dis mornin’, water risin’ by my door
If it keep on risin', my door won't be here no more.

[Chorus - 8 bars]
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
If ya gets me outta here, I’ll owe ya my thanks.

[Chorus - Refrain – 8 bars]
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
If ya gets me outta here, I’ll owe ya my thanks.

[Verse 2 –12 bars]
River done come up, house floatin’ down de stream
River done come up, house floatin’ down de stream
Maybe I’m still sleepin’, Lawd, wake me from this dream.

[Chorus - Refrain – 8 bars]
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
If ya gets me outta here, I’ll owe ya my thanks.

[Vocal Bridge – 4 bars]
Ain’t no man come help us, rich folks done rode up high
Say we jest po’ folk, let us drown an’ die

[Final Chorus – 12 bars]
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks, Mmm, Lawd, oh Lawd
Ohhh, Lawd, de river runnin’ up its banks
Now I’m driftin’ down de river, holdin’ tight to some ol’ wood planks.

[Outro – 4 bars]
“Lawd, have mercy on dis poor soul
