Hellwater - Legendary Shack Shakers

Hell or highwater, Baby Katy Gray

Hell or highwater done washed her away

Hell or highwater in the troublesome creek

Hell or highwater, Baby Katy Gray

Hell or highwater done washed her away

Hell or highwater in the troublesome creek

Like baby Moses in the reeds, can’t ya see what I meen?

Ya gotta Row, ya gotta Wade, ya gotta give til it bleeds

'Cause higher Hellwater is the last thing ya need

Hell or highwater, Speedy’s floatin' away

1937 must be Jugdement Day

Hell or highwater, Holstein on the porch

And not enough sense to swim the hell on home

Hell or highwater suckin' down the sink

Just jiggle on the handle til the guilt goes away

Ya gotta dive like a duck, dogpaddle or plunge

Higher Hellwater’s got ya on the run

Higher Hellwater’s got ya on the run

Hell or highwater in the welfare line

If the good Lord’s willin' and the creek don’t rise

Hell or highwater, three hots and a cot

Case quarter change and Katrina Cough

Hell or highwater, it’s the slugde o' sin

A color TV and a bottle o' gin

He wants your nose in The Book, drop down on your knees

It’s higher Hellwater, honey, if you please
