The sky is fallin' and the ground is reachin' up
The river's goin' by and the water's gettin' high and I feel like givin' up
Stand in' in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blues
Got those wo ods on my left, city on my right, don't wanna sleep alone tonight again
Hole in my coat, hole in my shoes, s ittin' in Mobile singin' the blues about you
Company people call my house most every day
Won't let a body concentrate
Gotta get some peace that way
Wa itin' for that water risin', think I'll put my guitar in my boat
'Cause I'm floatin' to the nearest levy just to lay down
In that sand
Just pickin' wild be rries, gettin' stung by honey be es
The Lord above and the d evil below havin' a f ight ins ide of me
Thinkin' ' bout my gu n, maybe that will set me fre e
'Cause thunder and l ightnin' are tr apped ins ide of me
Innocent d arlin' why you treat your daddy this way?
The price of the question is a mighty hard price to pay
'Cause you brought these rainy day cr ossroad blues my way
I can't take it no more
