about

inspired by the historic flooding of the mississippi, 1927 & 2011, lightning hopkins & other blues accounts of the last hundred year flood

lyrics

when the levees break & overflow
their sides are tickled by the trickle of the backwater
rising up from down below
we dont walk
no we gotta run from the undertow
the surging of the current
pulling us downstream
flooding all the homes and the houses i know

they call it chemical row
they call it cancer canal
they call it big easy

backwaters rising
floodwaters rising
heat is rising
breath on the neck of the government rising
food prices rising
gas prices rising
joblessness rising
gun in the hand of the police rising
