Текст песни: Washed by the Water + перевод

Damned old levy

Well they knew that it would go

Been talking about it

Since before my daddy’s born

Ain’t nobody listens to what a poor man has to say

But down here we’re washed by the water

The water can’t wash us away

Now I hear people talkin'

Say I should have up and gone

But I ain’t got nothing but this place

To call my home

My father and his father

Stay until their dying days

Down here we’re washed by the water

The water can’t wash us away

Down here we’re washed by the water

The water can’t wash us away

We’ll put it back together

With our own two hands

Ain’t nobody gonna turn us around

It’s oddly a little empty

And it all seems broken down

Oh Lord we sure could use you now

Then the president came down

And said this is awful sad

But ain’t no words from that man

Gonna bring us nothing back

And in the ghost of church bells

I hear my momma say

Down here we’re washed by the water

The water can’t wash us away

Down here we’re washed by the water

The water can’t wash us away

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

(Everybody sing)

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

(Can't wash us away)

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

(Can't wash us away)

Been washed by the water, the water can’t wash us away

(No no no no no no)

Been washed by the water, water can’t wash us away

(Can't wash us away)

Been washed by the water, water can’t wash us away

(One more time)

Been washed by the water, water can’t wash us away
