•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,

•Мама всегда говорила мне, что неприятности оборачиваются в нашу пользу, если верить в Бога
•Мы не видели Божьей милости в наводнении, когда
•Нам приходилось оставлять дом
•Но когда вода отступала, мы понимала, что она принесла к нашему дому плодородный слой земли. В следующем году у нас был самый лучший урожай хлопка.
•
•Я помню, как это было:
•
•На сколько поднялась вода, мама?
•На два фута, а будет ещё выше
•На сколько поднялась вода, папа?
•На два фута, а будет ещё выше
•
•Мы добирались до дороги в самодельной лодке
•Это единственное, на чём можно было плыть
