Lyrics

[Verse 1] Way down in the Mississippi valley Far beyond the plains so grand Rose the flooded Mississippi River Destroying the works of man [Verse 2] With her waters at the highest That all man had ever known She came rushing out of the valley Destroying our land and homes, hey! (Piano solo) [Verse 3] There were people stranded in the rooftops Who had spent a sleepless night Without any hope of a rescue Or even a spark of light [Verse 4] There were othеrs stranded in the rooftops With no way to give an alarm Thеre were mothers stranded in the treetops With their babies in their arms (Piano solo) [Verse 5] Let us all get right with our Maker As He do make all things well And be ready to meet in judgment When we bid this earth farewell (Piano solo)
