Lyrics of a song Johnny Cash - Five Feet High And Risin'

Five Feet High and Risin'
by Johnny Cash
(capo 1 to play along with recording)

My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our 
faith in the Lord.  We couldn't see much good in the flood waters when they 
were causing us to have to leave home, but when the water went down, we found 
that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land.  The 
following year we had the best cotton crop weFd ever had.  I remember 
hearing,

How high's the water, mama?  Two feet high and risin'
A
How high's the water, papa?  Two feet high and risin'

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
           D
that's the only thing we got left that'll float
     E                                                          A

Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees
the chickens are sleepin' in the willow trees
cow's in water up past her knees, three feet high and risin'
(up to D)
How high's the water, mama?  Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?  Four feet high and risin'
Hey, come look through the window pane,
the bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain, 4 feet high and risin'
(up to E)
How high's the water, mama?  Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?  Five feet high and risin'
Well the rails are washed out north of town
we gotta head for higher ground
we can't come back till the water comes down, Five feet high and risin'
E
Well it's five feet high and risin'
