Lyrics:

When it rains five days and the sky turns dark as night
When it rains five days and the sky turns dark as night
There's trouble down here that August night

They rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
They rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
There ain't no place for you and me to go

There's thousands of people, they ain't got no place
Thousands, thousands and thousands of people, they ain't got no place
Like you and me, sure they hang around

Backwater blues (done calls??) me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues (done calls??) me to pack my things and go
Oh there ain't no place for a poor old girl to go

I said, yeah
Yeah
Yeah-e-hey
Yeah-e-hey
I can't move no more
For there ain't no place for you and me to go

Backwater blues (done calls??) me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues (done calls??) me to pack my things and go
Oh there ain't no place for a poor old girl to go

I said, ah, yeah
I can't move no more
Yeah-hey-yeah
Yeah-hey-yeah
Oh there ain't no place for a poor old girl to go
