John Lee Hooker - The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker

Tupelo Blues

Did you read about the flood?
Happened long time ago
In Tupelo, Mississippi
There were thousands o' lives
Destroyed
It rained, it rained

Both night and day
The poor people was worried
Didn't have no place to go
Could hear many people, cryin', "Lord, have mercy"
'Cause you're the only one that we can turn to

Happened a long time ago
A little town
Way back in Mississippi
In Tupelo

There were women, and there was children
They were screamin' and cryin'
Cryin', "Lord, have mercy, you're the only one now, that we can turn to"
Way back down in Mississippi, a little country town
I know you read about it
'Cause I'll never forget it

The mighty flood in Tupelo, Mississippi
Been years ago

Lord, have mercy
Wasn't that a mighty time?
Tupelo's gone
