Where the hell's the sun , it's just rain for days all this river rising and cryin´ , washin us away if we let go now , we`re let our love drown an` baby this cold blue river , might never go down
So put up your bags , an` get away from the door put up that rusty pistol , babe I ain´t mad anymore if you leave me now , and head for higher ground baby this river blue back water , gonna take me down
Baby I can´t let you go I go under if you leave me here alone Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on baby just let the hard times row we`ll wail outta here when the water`s low these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on
Solo
This river ain`t deep , it`s just a little cold so put your arms around me , we find us some stepping`stones baby hold on tight , `cause dry land`s in sight we`ll be out of this backwater blues , if we hold on
Baby I can´t let you go I go under if you leave me here alone Oh this backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on baby just let the hard times row we`ll wail outta here when the water`s low these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on baby these backwater blues will be gone , if we hold on.
