Eric Bibb Flood Water song lyrics

Flood water spreadin’ all arround (2x)

People everywhere tryin’ to make higher ground

Many met their Maker in a watery grave (2x)

If your neighbour had a boat, well ya mighta been saved

Mighta been saved

Bibles floatin’ in the water, had to leave it all behind (2x)

Sister had a vision, church paid her no mind

Paid her no mind

People straddlin’ their rooftops –

Water reachin’ to their kness (2x)

Heard the preacher holler, “Lord, Lord, Lord

Have Mercy, if You please!”

Don’t you know, it rained, Noah, where were you” (2x)

Cows couldn’t swim, drownin’ two by two

Flood water far as my eyes could see (2x)

Nineteen hundred, twenty-seven never leave my memory

Never leave my memory
