I woke up this morning : I couldn't even get out of my door
Said this wild water got me covered : and I ain't got no place to go
Now I hear my mama crying : but I just can't help myself
Now this wild water keep on rising : I got to get help from someone else
Now good morning Mr wild water : why did you stop in my front door
Says you reaches from Cairo : clean down to the Gulf of Mexico
Now don't you hear your mother crying : weeping and moaning all night long
Because old man wild water done been here : took her best friends and gone
Now look a‑here Mr wild water : why do you treat me so doggone mean
Says you took my house out of Cairo : carried it down in New Orleans
