Beouf River Road

(专辑： The Train I'm On - 1972)

There was a bad cloud in the north when I woke up this morning
And to tell you all the truth I was feeling kind of bad myself
I walked out on the porch and the day was a-dawning
It was such a blue day that I wished I could've stayed in bed

I heard the treefrogs calling
And then the rain started falling
Down on Beouf River Road

I looked up the dirt road, Lord and the water was rising
I'd seen the rain upon the water and the little man dancing
My daddy said you all better get your things together
'Cause old Beouf river done overflowed his banks again

I picked up my cats and my coonhound
And we all headed out for some higher ground
Away from Beouf River Road

Ever since the time that I got old enough to remember
Old Beouf river has flooded time and time again
But we'd always go back and gather up all our belongings
And open up the windows and doors and let the sunshine in

I know it may sound funny
But I won't trade it for no amount of money
My life in Beouf River Road
