FIVE FEET HIGH AND RISING My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord. We couldn't see much good in the flood waters when they were causing us to have to leave home, But when the water went down, We found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land. The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had.
I remember hearing:
How high's the water, mama? Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Two feet high and risin'
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat That's the only thing we got left that'll float It's already over all the wheat and the oats, Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama? Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Three feet high and risin'
Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees The chickens are sleepin' In the willow trees Cow's in water up past her knees, Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama? Four feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Four feet high and risin'
Hey, come look through the window pane, The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain, 4 feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama? Five feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Five feet high and risin'
Well, the rails are washed out north of town We gotta head for higher ground We can't come back till the water comes down, Five feet high and risin'
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues Town Hall Party, Los Angeles, California August 8, 1959. FOLSOM PRISON BLUES. I hear the train a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
