歌词
Highwater (for Charlie Patton)
洪水没日没夜暴涨
Highwater risin', rising night and day
金银财宝全被偷走了
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big joe也心怀鬼胎，东张西望（Big Joe Turne是R&B和＂爵士乐＂的双重传奇人物）
Big joe turner looking east and west from the dark room of his mind
可算到了堪萨斯城，满是藤蔓的第十二街
He made it to kansas city, twelfth street and vine
可是那里一无所有
Nothin' standing there
满眼汪洋
Highwater everywhere
洪水依旧在暴涨，棚屋倒塌
人们失去财产，开始四散逃灾
Highwater rising the shacks are sliding down
伯莎•梅森摇晃它，打破它，又把它挂在墙上（Bertha Mason是《简爱》中的人物）
Folks lose their possessions, the folks are leaving town
说道，你只能和我指定的人跳舞，否则就算了
Reformation shook it, broke it, then she hung it on the wall
洪水汹涌
Say you dancin' with whom they tell you to or you don't dance at all
满目汪洋
It's tough out there
我渴望能有磕嗨的快感
Highwater everywhere
以作乐
小姑娘，上来吧
I got a craven love for blazin' speed
把你们的内裤扔到海里
I got a hopped up mustang ford
我能写出那种令猛男落泪的诗歌
Jump into the wagon, love
我不是人模狗样的东西，你得对我好点
Throw your panties overboard
什么都没剩下
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
一片汪洋
I'm no pig without a wig, i hope you treat me kind
洪水暴涨过头顶六英寸
Things are breakin' up out there
棺材漂在街上，像铅铸的气球
Highwater everywhere
水涌入维克斯堡，我不知道该怎么办
她说“别在慌乱中抓住我你难道看不出来我也溺水了吗”
Highwater rising, six inches above my head
洪水汹涌
Coffins droppin' in the street like balloons made out of lead
满目汪洋
Water poured into vicksburg, don't know what i'm gonna do
乔治刘易斯告诉英国人，意大利人和犹太人
Don't reach out for me, she said, can't you see i'm drowning too
小伙子，你的思绪不可能开阔到认识所有维度
It's rough out there
人们发现达尔文被困在五号公路
Highwater everywhere
法官对警察说，我掌握着他们的生死
他们的死活，我不在乎
Well, george lewes told the englishman, the italian and the jew
满目汪洋
You can't open up your mind, boys, to every conceivable point of view
杜鹃是种漂亮鸟，能飞能唱
They got charles darwin trapped out there on highway 5
我布道上帝的声音，我要弄瞎你们的眼睛
Judge says to the high sheriff, i want them dead or alive
我找胖子南希要一点东西吃，她说，把它从架子上拿下来吧
Either one, i don't care
你也很伟大，兄弟，但你终究是你
Highwater everywhere
我告诉她，我并不在意
满目汪洋
Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
我清早起床，我相信我会掸掉笤帚上的灰
I'm preachin' the word of god, i'm puttin' out your eyes
离女人们远点，我会给他们足够的空间
I asked fat nancy for someth'n' to eat, she said take it off the shelf
克拉克斯代尔上空雷鸣阵阵，要完蛋了
As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself
亲爱的，我高兴不起来，除非你也快乐
I told her i didn't really care
真是糟糕
Highwater everywhere
满目汪洋
I get up in the mornin', i believe i'll dust my broom
Keepin' away from the women, i'm givin' them lots of room
Thunder rollin' over clarksdale, everythin' a-lookin' blue
I just can't be happy, love, unless you're happy too
It's bad out there
Highwater everywhere
