How high is the water mama two feet high and risin'
How high is the water papa she said it's two feet high and risin'
But we can make it to the road in a homemade boat
Cause that's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over all the wheat and oats two feet high and risin'
How high is the water mama three feet high and risin'
How high is the water papa she said it's three feet high and risin'
Well the hives are gone I lost my bees
Chickens are sleepin' in the willow trees
Cows in water up past their knees three feet high and risin'
How high is the water mama four feet high and risin'
How high is the water papa she said it's 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
four feet high and risin'
How high is the water mama five feet high and risin'
How high is the water papa she said it's 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 goes down five feet high
and risin'
Well it's five feet high and risin'
