Chorus:
The water s rising and the rain s still coming down
There s a river five feet deep running down main street
Grab your children and head for higher ground
Cause the dam s broke loose
And the flood s gonna wash away this town

In the winter of 96
Too much snow, too much rain would mix
And when that winter day turned warm
many a town will come to harm

And out on Chasebrook Road that night
That s where some people lost their lives
One hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep Was a hole where the road used to be
Chorus

Come hell or high water
Starts meaning a whole lot more
From Walton to Schoharie County
No one knew how bad it would be

Some got out and walked away
There s other missing to this day
Scraps of clothing and paper
Float across the water where they once were

Chorus
