Ever since I drowned back in '38 that rivers been dry as a bone Nothing left there but a nifty old creek bed buried in a feet of stone The crazy old man standing down on the street in the middle of the old town square Said 'That rivers gonna come back to haunt you and people you better beware'
Chorus The water's getting deep and it keeps on rising Oh Lord, what's going on? Some folks are praying and others are crying The whole town's almost gone Almost gone
Thirty years ago they started up a building right where the river ran They dug up the ground and they tore down the levy and that's where the town began So when the sky opened up over Calloway County it caught everybody by surprise The valley overflowed and the river started rolling and people had to run for their lives
Chorus The water's getting deep and it keeps on rising Oh Lord, what's going on? Some folks are praying and others are crying The whole town's almost gone Almost gone
The crazy old man who warned us all, he was all already to go Well as the rain came down you could hear him shout 'People, I told you so, I told you so'
