Pikeville Flood

Blue Highway

CAPO 2

INTRO: A – G – E – A (x2)

A

1. Run for your life boys, there’s nothing left to do

2. It’s washed away the houses, and the road is almost gone

3. I don’t know where I’m going, and I don’t know where I’m bound

G E A

1. Pikeville dam is a-caving in, and the water’s coming through

2. Ain’t nothing here but the diamond den, and the trail of a mighty storm

3. Just far away from the water’s edge, and a no good river town (goto chorus)

A

1. The river’s been a-rising, and the rain’s still coming down

2. I had a lovin’ family, and I had a lovin’ wife

G E A

1. For 14 days and nights, it’s gonna wash away the town

2. Til the Chiksaw river and the wind and rain come and robbed them of their life

<CHORUS>

A G

Let her roll; roll on muddy dream

E A

Let ‘er roll; take in everything
