Chorus: The water's rising and the rain's still coming down There's a river five feet deep running down main street Grab your children and head for higher ground ‘Cause the dam's broke loose And the flood's gonna wash away this town In the winter of '96 Too much snow, too much rain would mix And when that winter day turned warm many a town will come to harm And out on Chasebrook Road that night That's where some people lost their lives One hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep Was a hole where the road used to be Chorus Come hell or high water Starts meaning a whole lot more From Walton to Schoharie County No one knew how bad it would be Some got out and walked away There's other missing to this day Scraps of clothing and paper Float across the water where they once were Chorus
