Blood and water bound to overflow Blood and water bound to overflow Well there's no more high water But the Old Man's just waiting, I know He was sent up on the levee Now they've gone up country They won't do nothing for you now And don't go asking me They've gone - it's all over here Sometimes I'd see her passing With the evening coming on I've seen you on her pathway I've seen you at dawn Look over yonder at that empty shack You know as well as I do They ain't coming back They're gone - it's all over here Blood and water bound to overflow Blood and water bound to overflow Well there's no more high water But the Old Man's just waiting, I know So many promises We broke them, every one Kept people on the levees With sheriffs and shotguns They're gone - it's all over here Look over yonder at that empty shack You know as well as I do They ain't coming back They're gone - it's all over here Blood and water bound to overflow Blood and water bound to overflow Well there's no more high water No more high water There's no more high water But the Old Man's just waiting, I know
