from ,
It rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as night
Yes, it rained five days and the clouds turned as dark as night
Lord, the trouble's takin' place, Lord, in the lowland at night
I got up one mornin', for me I couldn't even get out of my door
Yes, I got up one mornin', for me I couldn't even get out of my door
Lord, that was really enough trouble to make a poor man wonder why and where to go
And I waited, I stood upon a high, high old lonesome hill
Lord, I waited, I stood upon a high, high old lonesome hill
Lord, an' all I could do was look down on the house, baby, where I used to live
Lord, it thunderin' an' it lightnin', Lord, and the wind begin to blow
Lord, it thunderin' an' it lightnin', Lord, and the wind begin to blow
Lord, at that time four thousand-million people who have no place to go
Here is the table of contents.
