The Great Flood - Joe Bonamassa

It's been too long , since I said I loved you
It's been too long , since I cared
It's been too long , since I said I loved you
It's been too long , since I cared

Well my conscience is finally clear
I been waiting all these years

Well it's raining , all day and night
The great flood , has come around
Well it's raining , all day and night
The great flood , has come around

'cause when my house is about to wash away
Rain is such a lonesome sound

Well you said , you might be receiving
Oh I could tell it was all a bunch of lies
Well you said , you might be receiving
Oh I could tell it was all a bunch of lies

Well I know there's been a lot's of heartaches
I've been suffering all my life

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Tupelo
Ένα τραγούδι γι ατον καταστροφικό ανεμοστρόβιλο που έπληξε το Τούπελο του Μισισίπι στις 5 Απριλίου 1936

“Looka yonder! Looka yonder!
Looka yonder! A big black cloud come!
A big black cloud come!
O comes to Tupelo. Comes to Tupelo
Yonder on the horizon
Yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river
Stopped at the mighty river and
Sucked the damn thing dry
Tupelo-o-o, O Tupelo
In a valley hides a town called Tupelo

Rumble hungry like the Beast
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
Wo wo wo-o-o
Tupelo bound. Tupelo-o-o. Yeah Tupelo
The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound
Why the hen won't lay no egg
Can't get that cock to crow
The nag is spooked and crazy
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!”

Randy Newman "Louisiana 1927"


https://youtu.be/MGs2iLoDUYE

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood

Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has
done
To this poor crackers land."

Το παραπάνω τραγούδι είναι ένα από τα πολλά που έχουν γραφτεί για τη μεγάλες πλημμύρες του Μισισιπί το 1927. Μερικά ακόμη:

1) “High Water Everywhere” του Τσάρλι Πάτον που ηχογραφήθηκε το 1929.

The back water done rolled lord, and tumbled, drove me down the line
The back water done rolled and tumbled, drove poor Charley down the line
Lord, i'll tell the world the water done struck Drew's town

Lord the whole round country, lord creek water is overflowed
Lord the whole round country, man, is overflowed
(spoken: you know, i can't stay here, i'm bound to go where it's high boy.)
I would go to the hill country, but they got me barred

Now looky now, in Leland, Lord, river is rising high
Looky here, boys around Leland tell me river is raging high
(spoken: boy, it's rising over there, yeah.)
I'm going over to Greenville, bought our tickets, good bye

Looky here, the water dug out, Lordy, levee broke, rolled most everywhere
The water at Greeville and Leland, Lord, it done rose everywhere
(spoken: boy, you can't never stay here.)
I would go down to Rosedale, but they tell me there's water there

Back water at Blytheville, backed up all around
Back water at Blytheville, done struck Joiner town
It was fifty families and children. Tough luck, they can drown

The water was rising up in my friend's door
The water was risins up in my friend's door
The man said his womenfolk, "Lord we'd better go"

Oh Lordy, women is groaning down
Oh Lordy, women and children sinking down
(spoken: Lord have mercy.)
I couldn't see nobody home, and was no one to be found

Μια ωραία διασκευή αυτού του τραγουδιού έχει κάνει και ο Joe Bonamassa.

Well there's high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
Well there's high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows

You go where its high boy
Down to hill country road
Still the water was rising
I been sinking down

Man, that water was rising
At all places around
Where the fifty men and children, come to sink and drown
Now we're looking at New Orleans, where the crest stood high

Nobody said it was rising, one more time silver lie
Should move up much higher, before I sink and die

2) When the Levee Breaks που γράφτηκε και εκτελέστηκε για πρώτη φορά από το ντουέτο Kansas Joe McCoy και Memphis Minnie. Το ίδιο κομμάτι διασκευάστηκε από τους Λεντ Ζέπελιν και έγινε επιτυχία.

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonnna come in and we'll have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
And all these people will have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do?
Now look here mama what am I, I to do?
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

I worked on the levee mama both night and day
I worked on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away

Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
Whenever the levee breaks momma, you got to lose

I worked on the levee mama both night and day
I worked on the levee mama both night and day
I worked so hard to keep the water away

If it keeps on raining
Levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining
The levee's going to break
When the levee breaks
Have no place to stay
Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan, oh
Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes
To make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well, ooh
Oh don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home
You don't know which way to go
If you're going down south
They got no work to do
If you're going north to Chicago

3) Tupelo Blues από τον Τζον Λι Χούκερ

Did you read about the flood?
It happened long time ago, in a little country town, way back in Mississippi
It rained and it rained, it rained both night and day
The people got worried, they began to cry
"lord have mercy, where can we go now?"
There were women and there was children, screaming and crying
"lord have mercy and a great disaster, who can we turn to now, but you?"
The great flood of Tupelo, Mississippi
It happened one evenin', one Friday evenin', a long time ago
It rained and it started rainin'
The people of Tupelo, out on the farm gathering their harvest
A dark cloud rolled, way back in Tupelo, Mississippi, hmm, hmm

Wasn't that a mighty time
Wasn't that a mighty time?
Wasn't that a mighty time
A mighty time, that evenin'?
It rained, both night and day
The poor people that had no place to go, hmm,hmm
A little town, called Tupelo, Mississippi
I never forget it and I know you won't either

Hurricane (Luke Combs)


https://youtu.be/BixwVsiDdZM

Hadn't had a good time
Since you know when
Got talked into goin' out
With hopes you were stayin' in
I was feeling like myself for the first time
In a long time
'Till I bumped into some of your friends
Over there talkin' to mine
Then you roll in with your hair in the wind
Baby without warning
I was doin' alright but just your sight
Had my heart stormin'
The moon went hiding
Stars quit shining
Rain was dropping
Thunder 'n lightning
You wrecked my whole world when you came
And hit me like a hurricane
You hit me like a hurricane
Knew it was gonna be a long night
From the moment when
We locked eyes over whiskey on ice
Talkin' 'bout us again
If I woulda just layed my drink down
And walked out
I wouldn't be in my truck
Driving us to your house
But you rolled in with your hair in the wind
Baby without warning
I was doin alright but just your sight
Had my heart stormin'
The moon went hiding
Stars quit shining
Rain was dropping
Thunder 'n lightning
You wrecked my whole world when you came
And hit me like a hurricane
You hit me like a hurricane
Yeah we go to five
With your smile, blew me away
And girl it ain't but midnight
She gon' kill the lights
Bring my heart back to your bedside
Then you roll in with your hair in the wind
Baby without warning
I was doin' alright but just your sight
Had my heart stormin'
The moon went hiding
Stars quit shining
Rain was dropping
Thunder 'n lightning
You wrecked my whole world when you came
And hit me like a hurricane
You hit me like a hurricane
Hit me like a hurricane

Οle buttermilk sky (1946)

https://youtu.be/uelegl-YeCs

Ole buttermilk sky
I'm a-keeping my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?
Ole buttermilk sky
Can't you see my little donkey and me?
We're as happy as a Christmas tree
Headin' for the one I love
I'm gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you, darling do you, do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
Ole buttermilk sky
I'm a-tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight
Ole buttermilk sky
Dont'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitchin' post
Hitch me to the one I love
I'm gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you, darling do you, do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
