Tony Joe White - Beoaf River Road lyrics

There was a bad cloud in the north When I woke up this morning And to tell you all the truth I was feeling kind of bad myself I walked out on the porch And the day was a-dawning It was such a blue day That I wished I just stayed in bed I heard the treefrogs calling And then the rain started falling Down on Beouf River Road I looked up the dirt road Lord and the water was rising I'd seen the rain upon the water And the little man dancing My daddy said you all better get your things together Cause old beouf river done overflowed his banks again I picked up my cats and my coonhound And we all had a laugh off some high brow Away from Beouf River Road Ever since the time that I got old enough to remember Old beouf river has flooded time and time again But we'ld always go back And gather up all our belongings And open up the windows and doors And let the sunshine in I know it may sound funny But I won't trade it for no amount of money My life in Beouf River Road
