Deep Flooding Waters

Oh, the rain it was falling, the thunder it was crashing The waters were rising and the wind it did blow Two feet of water is coming up beside me It's coming up beside me and it's threatening my home Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down There's a storm raging it's hit the next town over It's flooded the streets and it's wrecked all our homes There's no way in and there's no way out Those deep flooding waters have washed away the roads Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down High river is rising the land is shifting Those deep flooding waters have taken my home The children are weeping and the mothers are moaning People's possessions have been lost in the flood Oh, Lord won't you hold back those deep flooding waters Those deep flooding waters are bringing me down
