recording of 1969
from
Los Angeles Blues (Rhino 72173)
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom, baby, little girl, fore this water rise
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom, little girl, fore this water rise
You know I must-a been born by the devil, po' Lightnin don't wanna be baptized
See, it's rainin' in ol' California's the reason I said it, the houses slidin' down off the hill
Many, many many friends have lost their home, just because the water was falling so hard,
And the mudslide had taken their home
And I said
Lettin' ya know how it's happenin' now
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom, baby, po' Lightnin can't feel satisfied
Take me outta this bottom, take me outta this bottom, po' Lightnin just can't feel satisfied
Just you know many friends of mine lost they home, by that old mudslide
Don't take me to be wrong people, forgive me for my mistake
You know, please, please, please, forgive me for my mistake
Well, after all that flood come in California, do you know, the good Lord old ground begin to shake?
That's that earthquake that was comin'
Have mercy
