Deep Flooding Waters

Oh, the rain it was falling, the thunder it was crashing
The waters were rising and the wind it did blow
Two feet of water is coming up beside me
It's coming up beside me and it's threatening my home

Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters
Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down

There's a storm raging it's hit the next town over
It's flooded the streets and it's wrecked all our homes
There's no way in and there's no way out
Those deep flooding waters have washed away the roads

Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters
Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down

High river is rising the land is shifting
Those deep flooding waters have taken my home
The children are weeping and the mothers are moaning
People's possessions have been lost in the flood

Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters
Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down
