Cash Recorded 3/12/59 Number 14 - Country Chart; Number 76 - Pop Chart My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord. We couldn't see much good in the flood waters when they were causing us to have to leave home, But when the water went down, we found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land. The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had. I remember hearing: How high's the water, mama? Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Two feet high and risin' We can make it to the road in a homemade boat That's the only thing we got left that'll float It's already over all the wheat and the oats, Two feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Three feet high and risin' Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees The chickens are sleepin' In the willow trees Cow's in water up past her knees, Three feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Four feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Four feet high and risin' Hey, come look through the window pane, The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain, 4 feet high and risin' How high's the water, mama? Five feet high and risin' How high's the water, papa? Five feet high and risin' Well, the rails are washed out north of town We gotta head for higher ground We can't come back till the water comes down, Five feet high and risin' Well, it's five feet high and risin' Album: Songs Of Our Soil (1959) Lyrics [Buy "Songs Of Our Soil" CD] Johnny Cash - The caretaker Lyrics Johnny Cash - Clementine Lyrics Johnny Cash - Drink to me Lyrics Johnny Cash - Five feet high and rising Lyrics Johnny Cash - The great speckled bird Lyrics Johnny Cash - Hank and joe and me Lyrics Johnny Cash - I Got Stripes Lyrics Johnny Cash - It could be you (instead of him) Lyrics Johnny Cash - I want to go home Lyrics Johnny Cash - The man on the hill Lyrics Johnny Cash - Old apache squaw Lyrics Johnny Cash - You dreamer you Lyrics For more lyrics: Johnny Cash Song Lyrics - Five feet high and rising Please, support Johnny Cash .
