Текст песни Chris Knight - Backwater Blues

Where the hell is sun, just rains for days
all this river risin and cryin washin us away
if we let go now, we'll let our love drown
Baby, this cold blue river, might never go down

So put up your bags and get away from the door,
put up this rusty pistol baby, I aint mad anymore
If you leave me now and head for higher ground
Baby, this river of blue backwater
is gonna take me down.

Baby, I cant let you go
I'll go under if you leave me here alone
These backwater blues will be gone
If we hold on
Baby just left this hard times roll
We'll wade outta here when the water is low
These backwater blues will be gone
If we hold on

This river aint deep, its just a little cold
so put your arms around me we'll find us a steppin stone
Baby hold on tight, cos dry land's in sign
We'll be out of these backwater blues before long
if we hold on

Baby these backwater blues will be gone
if we hold on...
