High Water (For Charley Patton)(Live, August 23, 2003, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada)
作词 : Bob Dylan
作曲 : Bob Dylan
High water risin', risin' night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West From the dark room of his mind Big Joe Turner
He made it to Kansas City,Twelfth Street and Vine
There was nothing standing there
High water everywhere
High water risin
The shacks are slidin' down
Folks lose their possessions
Folks are leaving town
Bertha Mason shook, it broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You're dancin' with whom they tell you to
Or you don't dance at all"
It's tough out there
High water everywhere
I got a cravin' love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love
Throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems,make a strong man lose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig,I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out there
High water everywhere
High water risin', six inches 'bove my head
Coffins droppin' in the street Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin' into Vicksburg
Don't know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me," she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"“
It's rough out there
High water everywhere
Well, George Lewis told the Englishman
The Italian and the Jew
"You can't open your mind, boys ,To every conceivable point of view."
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the High Sheriff
"I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don't care."
High Water everywhere
The Cuckoo is a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the Word of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat
She said, "Take it off the shelf
As great as you are, man
You'll never be greater than yourself."
I told her I didn't really care
High water everywhere
I'm getting' up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
Keeping away from the women
I'm givin' 'em lots of room
Thunder rolling over Clarksdale
Everything is looking blue
I just can't be happy, love
Unless you're happy too
It's bad out there
High water everywhere
