Backwater Blues Lyrics - How I Go - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Said when it rains five days and skies turn dark as night 

Said when it rains five days and skies turn dark as night 

There's trouble's takin' place in the lowlands at night 

And I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go and I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go 'cause my house fell down, can't live there no more, no more 

When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night 

Said when it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night 

There's trouble's takin' place in the lowlands tonight 

I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door 

I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door 

There's been so much trouble, make a poor boy wonder where he wanna go 

And I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go and I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go 'cause my house fell down, can't go there no more, no 

When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow 

When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow 

There's thousands of people ain't got no where to go, no 

And I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go and I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go 'cause my house fell down, can't go there no more, no more 

Oh, the rain's pourin' baby, yes I went out to the lonesome 

High old lonesome hill I went out, high old lonesome hill 

I looked down on that place where I used to live 

And I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go and I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things 

And go 'cause my house fell down, can't go home no more, no 

And I'm backwater blues and I'm backwater blues 

And I'm backwater blues and I'm backwater blues 

Yeah, my house fell down, can't go home no more, no more, no more
