Luyện nghe bài hát Highwater - For Charlie Patton

Highwater risin', night and day
All the gold and silver are being away
Big Joe looking east and west from the dark room of his mind

He it to Kansas City, Twelfth Street and Vine

standing there
Highwater

Highwater rising the shacks are down
Folks lose possessions, the folks are leaving town
shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall
Say you dance with whom they you to or you don't dance at all
It's out there
Highwater

I got a cravin' for blazin' speed
I got a hopped up Ford

into the wagon, love
Throw panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his
I'm no pig without a wig, I hope you me kind

are breakin' up out there
Highwater

Highwater rising, six inches above my
Coffin's dropping in the street like balloons out of clay
Water poured into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm do

Don't reach out for me, she said, you see I'm drowning too
It's rough out
everywhere

Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the and the Jew
You can't up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on 5
Judge says to the high sheriff, I want him dead or
Either one, I don't
everywhere

Well, the cuckoo is a bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the word of God, I'm puttin' out eyes
I Fat Nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf

As great as you are man, you'll never be than yourself
I told her I didn't care

Highwater

I get up in the mornin', I I'll dust my broom
Keepin' away the women, I'm givin' them lots of room
Thunder rollin' over Clarksdale, everythin' a lookin'
I just be happy, love, unless you're happy too

bad out there
Highwater
