Five Feet High and Rising (Take 1) Lyrics

How high's the water, mama?
How high's the water, Bob?
Two feet high and rising
How high's the water, Bob?
Two feet high and rising
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already all for the wheat and oats
Two feet high and rising

How high's the water, John?
Three feet high and rising
How high's the manure, Bob?
Three feet high and rising
Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees
Chickens are sleeping in the willow trees
Cows have water up past their knees
Three feet high and rising

How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and rising
How high's the water, papa?
He said it's four feet high and rising
Hey, come look through the windowpane
The bus is coming, going to take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain
Four feet high and rising

We have to have lyrics written out before we can do that
(We'll have them in just a minute, he's going to write them down now)
Alright
