Five Feet High And Rising

How high's the water, Mama?

Two feet high and risin'

How high's the water, Papa?

She said, "Two feet high and risin'"

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat

'Cause 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?

She said, "It's 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'

How high's the water, Mama?

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water, Papa?

She said, "It's four feet high and risin'"

Hey, come look through the window pane

The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train

Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water, Mama?

Five feet high and risin'

How high's the water, Papa?

She said, "It's five feet high and risin'"

Well, the rails are washed out north of town

We gotta head for higher ground

We can't come back till the water goes down

Five feet high and risin'

Well, it's five feet high and risin'
