Five Feet High And Risin  Johnny Cash



[A]Two feet high and risin'.
[A]How high's the water, Papa?
[A]Two feet high and risin'.
We can / make [A]it to the road, in a homemade boat,
That's the / only[A] thing we got left that'll float,
It's / [E]already over all the wheat and the oats,
[E]Two feet hig[-]h and risin'.[A]
[C]How high's the water, Mama?
[C]Three feet high and risin'
[C]How high's the water, Papa?
[C]Three feet high and risin'.
Well, the / hive[C]s are gone, I've lost my bees.
The / ch[C]ickens are sleepin' in the willow trees.
[G]Cow's in water up past her knees,
[G]Three feet hi[-]gh and risin'.[C]
[D]How high's the water, Mama?
[D]Four feet high and risin'.
[D]How high's the water, Papa?
[D]Four feet high and risin'.
[D]Hey, come look through the window pane,
The / bu[A]s is comin', gonna take us to the train
[A]Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain,
[A]Four feet hig[-]h and risin' [D]
[E]How high's the water, Mama?
[E]Five feet high and risin'.
[E]                                     
How high's the water, Papa?
[E]Five feet high and risin'.

Well, the / rail[E]s are washed out north of town,
[E]We gotta head for higher ground,
We / can[B]'t come back, till the water comes down,
[B]Five feet hi[-]gh and risin'[E].
Well, it's / fiv[E]e feet high and risin'.
