Текст и слова песни Bob Dylan – High Water
High water risin - risin night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere
High water risin , the shacks are slidin down
Folks lose their possessions - folks are leaving town
Bertha Mason shook it - broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You re dancin with whom they tell you to
Or you don t dance at all."
It s tough out there
High water everywhere
I got a cravin love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
I m no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin up out there
High water everywhere
High water risin , six inches bove my head
Coffins droppin in the street
Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin into Vicksburg, don t know what I m going to do
"Don t reach out for me," she said
"Can t you see I m drownin too?"
It s rough out there
High water everywhere
Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
"You can t open your mind, boys
To every conceivable point of view."
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the High Sheriff,
"I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don t care."
High Water everywhere
The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I m preachin the Word of God
I m puttin out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, she said, "Take it off the shelf -
As great as you are a man,
You ll never be greater than yourself."
I told her I didn t really care
High water everywhere
I m getting up in the morning - I believe I ll dust my broom
Keeping away from the women
I m givin em lots of room
Thunder rolling over Clarksdale, everything is looking blue
I just can t be happy, love
Unless you re happy too
It s bad out there
High water everywhere
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere
High water risin , the shacks are slidin down
Folks lose their possessions - folks are leaving town
Bertha Mason shook it - broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You re dancin with whom they tell you to
Or you don t dance at all."
It s tough out there
High water everywhere
I got a cravin love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind

I hope you treat me kind
