[Chorus 1] [A]How high's the water, mama? Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? She said it's two feet high and risin' [Verse 1] We can [A]make it to the road in a homemade boat That's the [D]only thing we got left that'll float It's [E]already over all the wheat and oats Two feet high and [A]ri sin' [Chorus 2] [C]How high's the water, mama? Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? She said it's three feet high and risin' [Verse 2] Well, the [C]hives are gone I lost my bees The [F]chickens are sleepin' In the willow trees [G]Cow's in water up past her knees Three feet high and [C]ri sin' [Chorus 3] [D]How high's the water, mama? Four feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? [Verse 3] She said it's four feet high and risin' [D]Hey, come look through the window pane The [G]bus is comin' gonna take us to the train [A]Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain Four feet high and [D]ri sin' [Chorus 4] [E]How high's the water, mama? Five feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa?
