In sympathy with recent events in Houston, a classic, slow 12-bar blues number written in 1958 by Larry Davis, as much as relationship problems as the disaster, devastation and sense of isolation form the stormy downpour. It was also been covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Willie Nelson.
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down.
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound.
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'
Man it's about to drive poor me insane.
