Johnny Cash - Five feet high and risin

^GHow high is the water mama ^Ctwo feet high and ^Grisin' How high is the water papa she ^Csaid it's two feet high and ^Grisin'

It's ^D7already over all the wheat and oats two feet high and ^Grisin'

How high is the water mama ^Cthree feet high and ^Grisin' How high is the water papa she ^Csaid it's three feet high and ^Grisin'

Well the hives are gone I ^G7lost my bees ^CChickens are sleepin' in the willow trees

^D7Cows in water up past their knees three feet high and ^Grisin'

How high is the water mama ^Cfour feet high and ^Grisin' How high is the water papa she ^Csaid it's four feet high and ^Grisin'

Hey come look through the window ^G7pane The ^Cbus is comin' gonna take us to the train

^D7Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain four feet high and ^Grisin'

How high is the water mama ^Cfive feet high and ^Grisin' How high is the water papa she ^Csaid it's five feet high and ^Grisin'

Well the rails are washed out ^G7north of town we ^Cgotta head for higher ground ^D7We can't come back till the water goes down five feet high and ^Grisin'

Well it's ^Cfive feet high and ^Grisin'
