- lyrics
- greyboard house
on the outside of town
china would rattle
when a train came down
bad side of the levy
don't count for nothing
when the flood waters
are arising
and if a body meet a body
coming through the rye
if a body meet a body, baby don't you cry
if a body meet a body, coming through the rye
well you know, babe, we're bound to die
sandbag the shore
against the weight of the water
nothing gonna float
but what's made of wood
inspite of all the fine things
a body can own
there's gotta be good
in living alone
chorus
i'll open your door
in my morning gown
to meet that river
at your stoop
one for coop,
two wading shoes
three to fly
and you know i'm gone
a one, a two, a three i'm gone
i said a one a two a three i'm gone
a one, a two, a three i'm gone
with my good book full
of troubling songs
wake up my good man turn your lamp down low
i said wake up my good man turn your lamp down low
wake up my good man turn your lamp down low
cause I got something to tell you fore I go
