| [00:06.84] | High water risin', risin' night and day |
| [00:12.10] | All the gold and silver are being stolen away |
| [00:16.79] | Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West From the dark room of his mind Big Joe Turner |
| [00:22.10] | He made it to Kansas City，Twelfth Street and Vine |
| [00:26.60] | There was nothing standing there |
| [00:31.62] | High water everywhere |
| [00:38.46] | High water risin |
| [00:40.57] | The shacks are slidin' down |
| [00:43.33] | Folks lose their possessions |
| [00:44.65] | Folks are leaving town |
| [00:48.00] | Bertha Mason shook, it broke it |
| [00:49.82] | Then she hung it on a wall |
| [00:52.85] | Says, "You're dancin' with whom they tell you to |
| [00:55.55] | Or you don't dance at all" |
| [00:57.44] | It's tough out there |
| [01:02.82] | High water everywhere |
| [01:09.82] | I got a cravin' love for blazing speed |
| [01:11.88] | Got a hopped up Mustang Ford |
| [01:14.74] | Jump into the wagon, love |
| [01:16.14] | Throw your panties overboard |
| [01:19.68] | I can write you poems，make a strong man lose his mind |
| [01:24.71] | I'm no pig without a wig，I hope you treat me kind |
| [01:27.26] | Things are breakin' up out there |
| [01:34.41] | High water everywhere |
| [01:41.69] | High water risin', six inches 'bove my head |
| [01:46.52] | Coffins droppin' in the street Like balloons made out of lead |
| [01:51.53] | Water pourin' into Vicksburg |
| [01:53.34] | Don't know what I'm going to do |
| [01:56.42] | "Don't reach out for me," she said |
| [01:58.24] | "Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"“ |
| [02:00.72] | It's rough out there |
| [02:06.28] | High water everywhere |
| [02:12.70] | Well, George Lewis told the Englishman |
| [02:15.21] | The Italian and the Jew |
| [02:17.86] | "You can't open your mind, boys ，To every conceivable point of view." |
| [02:23.18] | They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five |
| [02:28.27] | Judge says to the High Sheriff |
| [02:30.49] | "I want him dead or alive |
| [02:32.65] | Either one, I don't care." |
| [02:37.96] | High Water everywhere |
| [02:45.31] | |
| [03:17.27] | The Cuckoo is a pretty bird |
| [03:19.64] | She warbles as she flies |
| [03:22.16] | I'm preachin' the Word of God |
| [03:24.44] | I'm puttin' out your eyes |
| [03:27.03] | I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat |
| [03:29.29] | She said, "Take it off the shelf |
| [03:32.21] | As great as you are, man |
| [03:34.33] | You'll never be greater than yourself." |
| [03:36.90] | I told her I didn't really care |
| [03:42.38] | High water everywhere |
| [03:49.77] | |
| [04:32.17] | I'm getting' up in the morning |
| [04:34.61] | I believe I'll dust my broom |
| [04:37.13] | Keeping away from the women |
| [04:39.41] | I'm givin' 'em lots of room |
| [04:42.28] | Thunder rolling over Clarksdale |
| [04:44.79] | Everything is looking blue |
| [04:47.22] | I just can't be happy, love |
| [04:49.65] | Unless you're happy too |
| [04:51.88] | It's bad out there |
| [04:57.11] | High water everywhere |
| [05:00.27] |
