Johnny Cash - Five Feet High And Rising слова песни
My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord.We couldn`t see much good in the flood waters when they were causing us to have to leave home, But when the water went down, we found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land. The following year we had the best cotton crop we`d ever had.I remember hearing: How high`s the water, mama?Two feet high and risin`How high`s the water, papa? Two feet high and risin`We can make it to the road in a homemade boatThat`s the only thing we got left that`ll floatIt`s already over all the wheat and the oats, Two feet high and risin`How high`s the water, mama? Three feet high and risin`How high`s the water, papa? Three feet high and risin`Well, the hives are gone, I`ve lost my beesThe chickens are sleepin`In the willow treesCow`s in water up past her knees, Three feet high and risin`How high`s the water, mama? Four feet high and risin`How high`s the water, papa? Four feet high and risin`Hey, come look through the window pane,The bus is comin`, gonna take us to the trainLooks like we`ll be blessed with a little more rain, 4 feet high and risin`How high`s the water, mama? Five feet high and risin`How high`s the water, papa? Five feet high and risin`Well, the rails are washed out north of townWe gotta head for higher groundWe can`t come back till the water comes down, Five feet high and risin`Well, it`s five feet high and risin`
