    Verse 4 It thundered and it lightened and the winds began to blow. (Twice) There was a thousand women didn't have no place to go.

    Verse 5 I went out to the lonesome, high old lonesome hUI. (Twice) I looked down on the old house where I used to Uve.

    Verse 6 Backwater blues have caused me to pack up my things and go. (Twice) 'Cos my house fell down and I can't Uve there no more.

    Verse 4 Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same When he put his arms around her, he said 'Julie, baby, you're my flameo Thou givest fever when we kisseth, Fever with thy flaming youth. Fever, I'm atire Fever, yea, I burn forsooth!"

    Verse S Captain Smith and Pocahontas Had a very mad affai r When her daddy tried to kili him, she said "Daddy-o, don't you dare! He gives me fever with his kisses, Fever when he holds me tight. Fever, I'm his missus Oh, Daddy, won't you treat him right'?"
