lyrics

The the rain is coming down and the water is a risin'
The swells are rolling in over the horizon
The sky is dark and the wind is blowin' hard
There's gonna be high water in Downcity tonight

Power lines cut the sky to pieces
The water's latticed with lines
Steel trusses and cables cris-cross the 'scape
Rivers pushed about by men push back
They rise and over run their banks
There's gonna be high water in Downcity tonight

Burnside's washed out we oughta get to higher land
With Canal Street under water, the horses can't even stand
On the steps of City Hall
The water's climbing up the wall
The water's so high we can't make it to the train
But luckily there's a steam ship coming down Main!
There's gonna to be high water in Downcity tonight

The the rain is coming down and the water is a risin'
The swells are rolling in over the horizon
The sky is dark and the wind is blowin' hard
There's gonna be high water in Downcity tonight

And out in Olnyville there's fish falling from the sky
Like Mana from Heaven but no one can say why
Oh ohhhhh
There's gonna to be high water in Downcity tonight!
