Anna Hamilton - The Great Fish Flood of '99 Lyrics

The great fish flood of '99
I tell you we had a hell of a time
Look at that river at a flood stage flow
Come on sister, don't you row so slow

River oh river, don't you flow so hard
I've seen the stealeye swimming in my back yard
And all the little creeks are splitting at their seams
I'm swimming under water in my dreams

The great fish flood of '99
I tell you we had a hell of a time
Look at that river at a flood stage flow
Come on brother, don't you row so slow

This morning when I wke up, I looked at the sky
I swear a little fishie slapped my right in the eye
I saw a fishy swimming in a big, tall tree
Laughing and a leaping and a singing about me

The great fish flood of '99
I tell you we had a hell of a time
Look at that river at a flood stage flow
Come on daddy, don't you row so slow

If I turn green don't you wonder why
I ain't seen the sun since last july
Now the creek's gone crazy and i've lost my mind
In the great fish flood of '99

The great fish flood of '99
I tell you we had a hell of a time
Look at that river she's gonna blow
Come on mama, don't you row so slow

Well, i've never seen so many fishes before
We just about had ourselves a fish flood war
But the next time you see me I won't be cryin'

I'll be singin' about the great fish fryin'

The great fish flood of '99
I tell you we had a hell of a time
Look at that river at a flood stage flow
Come on people, don't you row so slow

The great fish flood
Look at the mud
Look at that river she's gonna blow
Come on people, don't you row so slow
