E5
                                   E5  A5
Blood and water bound to overflow
                               E5  E5  E5  E5
Blood and water bound to overflow
              G5
Well there?s no more high water
        A9F#5        B5          E5  E5  D5
But the Old Man?s just waiting, I know

        G5
He was sent up on the levee
             B5
Now they?ve gone up country
      C5
They won?t do nothing for you now 
     G5
And don?t go asking me
         A5   B5                 E5  D5
They?ve gone     it?s all over here

     G5
Sometimes I?d see her passing
         B5
With the evening coming on
C5                             C#?7
I?ve seen you on her pathway
                       G5
I?ve seen you at dawn
                        B5            C5
Look over yonder at that empty shack
                          C#dim7
You know as well as I do
They ain?t coming back
           G5  Eaug  A5  D5             G5    B5
They?re gone            it?s all over here
