Creek Water Risin’ © 2007 Teddie Cochran This winter had been harder As he looked upon that old hickory tree All he had was this old cabin, a wife and son And years of poverty His crops had rotted in the ground As the pelting rain came down Two months now Creek water risin’ The burden made him harder As the wind stirred on the old oak tree All he knew was they were starving, the damage done Please spare his family Still they stood proud as proud As the tempest swirled around Hand in hand Creek water risin’ The gale turned to hail White lightning flashed across the sky As his wife and son began to praying Their faith in the all mighty never swaying Still they rushed to higher ground In hopes they’d be found Step by step Creek water risin’ Three hundred homes on lower ground Now sir come the fate around Creek water risin’ How many lost will be revealed As the storm unveils Creek water risin’
