Lyrics
Creek?s Risin?
Creek?s risin?, big creek?s risin?, comin? into my yard.
Deep water, dirty water, still it?s rainin? so hard.
Old lady, mean old lady, said an awful thing.
She said I earned it, must deserve it,
she said I?ll never change.
Dry ?em off, get ?em up out of the water.
Look at the shape I?m in.
Creek?s risin?, big creek?s risin?,
comin? up to my chin.
Creek?s risin?, river?s comin?, it?s all over the floor.
Deep water, muddy water, much worse than before.
My neighbors, all them people, saw the terrible thing.
Now I see it?s all my doin? it?s closin? in on me.
Dry ?em off, pull ?em up out of the water.
Let me save my skin.
Creek?s risin?, river?s comin?,
I guess I?m learnin? to swim.
