hurricane betsy - lightnin' hopkins lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
you know i wonder why did everything
gotta happen this way
well, betsy passed through louisiana today
she had people runnin’, they was tryin’ to hide, but
k!lled so many folks ’til the rest were left
they couldn’t be satisified

[verse 1]
hurricane betsy
woah, she fell down in louisiana town
woah, you know left a whole lot of people wonderin’
is a*quite a few can’t be found

[bridge]
lord have mercy
[verse 2]
they say the backwater’s risin’
yes, comin’ in my windows and doors
jimmy, you know the backwater rise
comin’ all in them windows and doors
you know that the day will pray in their hearts
that water please don’t rise no more, night
i got this thing about a little girl
was standin’ on the steps

[bridge]
yeah, but she had it goin’
and everybody got together
and they began to sing that song ’bout him

[verse 3]
backwater risin’, it’s comin’ all in my windows and doors
backwater rise, woah, it’s comin’ all in my windows and doors
woah, my good friend done left me
i may not never see his face no more
now i cry, everybody

[verse 4]
one more question they gon’ ask you
little girl, were you down in old louisiana town?
one more question gonna ask you
were you down in old louisiana town?
you knew betsy come through there
lord, it swept them buildings down
