Lyrics:

That dirty Trinity river, sure have done me wrong
That dirty Trinity river, sure have done me wrong
It came in my windows and doors, now all my thing are gone

Trinity river blues, keeps me bobbing all the time
Trinity river blues, keeps me bobbing all the time
I lose all my clothes baby, believe I'm going to lose my mind

There'll be no levee now, I have no more to worry about
There'll be no levee now, I have no more to worry about
If that river should happen to rise, will have to move my things out

Trinity river rises, it came in my windows and doors
Trinity river rises, it came in my windows and doors
If it wasn't for (?) baby, honey it won't rise rise no more
