Tallahatchie River rising : Lord it's mighty bad
Some peoples on the Tallahatchie : done lost everything they had
Some people in the Delta : wondering what to do
They don't build some levees : I don't know what become of you
High water rising : get me troubled in mind
I got to go : and leave my daddy behind
Lord this water rising : and I sure can't swim
But if it keeps on rising : sure going to follow him
Going pack my suitcase : go back to Tennessee
But this Tallahatchie River : done got the best of me
