Lyrics
My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord We couldn't see much good in the flood waters When they were causing us to have to leave home But when the water went down, we found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land. The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had I remember hearing: How high's the water, mama? Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Two feet high and risin' We can make it to the road in a homemade boat That's the only thing we got left that'll float It's already over all the wheat and the oats Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Three feet high and risin' Well, the hives are gone I've lost my bees The chickens are sleepin' In the willow trees Cow's in water up past her knees Three feet high and risin'
