Backwater

( parfitt / lancaster )Down at backwater junction

Rolling down the line

In the dark early morning

I heard the one-forty-nine

I was walking down the highway

Needed somewhere to go

A lady laid beside me

And she invited me home

She led me cold, tired and hungry

Down the backwater roadIn a house on the corner

Looking over the track

I woke up with a fever

And a pain in my back

She was lying there beside me

My fever started to grow

Had a funny feeling

But the lady said no

The lover needs a doctor

Down the backwater roadWhatcha' lookin' for

Whatcha' lookin' for

Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for

Was I wrong to play along

Lady was I right or lady was I wrong
