Tupelo Lyrics


Did you read about the flood?
Happened long time ago
In Tupelo, Mississippi
There were thousands of lives
DestroyedIt rained, it rained
Both night and day
The poor people was worried
Didn't have no place to goCould hear many people cryin' "Lord, have mercy
'Cause You're the only one that we can turn to"Happened a long time ago
A little town
Way back in Mississippi
In TupeloThere was women and there was children
They were screamin' and cryin'
Cryin', "Lord, have mercy
You're the only one now that we can turn to"Way back down in Mississippi, a little country town
I know you read about it
'Cause I'll never forget it
The mighty flood in Tupelo, Mississippi

Been years agoLord, have mercy
Wasn't that a mighty time?
Tupelo's gone

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

John Lee Hooker (Coahoma County, Mississippi, August 22, 1917 – Los Altos, California, June 21, 2001) was a highly influential American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962).
