It rained five days and the sky 
                  E7
turned black as night

There's some trouble taking place
A7                  E7
 in the lowlands at night

I woke up this morning, couldn't 
even get out of my door
Woke up this morning, couldn't even 
get out of my door
Sometimes there's so much trouble, a
 poor girl don't know where to go

They rowed a little boat about five 
miles across the farm
They rowed a little boat about five 
miles across the farm
I packed up all my clothes and they 
rowed me right along

It thunders and lightnings and the 
wind begins to blow
It thunders and lightnings and the 
wind begins to blow
There's about a thousand people 
there, and they ain't got nowhere to
 go

I went up and stood on a high and 
lonesome hill
I went up and stood on a high and 
lonesome hill
I looked down below me on the house 
I used to live

That's how the blues done caused me 
to pack up my things and go
Blues done caused me to pack up my 
things and go
My poor house is gone, I can't live 
there no more
My poor house is gone, I can't live 
there no more
My poor house is gone, I can't live 
there no more
