Count Basie — Backwater Blues live

When it rains five days And the skies turn black a' night I said when it rains five days And the skies turn black at night Yeah, you know there's trouble in the lowlands And everything ain't right Well, when I woke up this mornin' I couldn't even get outta my door Yeah, yeah, yeah When I woke, when I woke, when I woke When I woke up this mornin' I couldn't even get outta my door There was enough trouble To make a poor girl wonder where she oughta go {?} that time they rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat About five miles across the pond Oh, they rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat, rowed a little boat About five miles across the pond Yeah, I packed all my clothes And throwed 'em in and they rowed me right along
