Pikeville Flood - Blue Highway

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

The Pikeville Dam is cavin' in and the water’s comin' through

The river’s been a-risin' and the rain’s still comin' down

For fourteen days and nights It’s gonna wash away the town

Chorus

So let her roll

Roll on muddy dream

Let her roll, takin' everything

It’s washed away the houses, now the road is almost gone

Ain’t nothin' here but the dyin' and dead

and the trail of a mighty storm

I had a lovin' family, lord, I had a lovin' wife

Till the Chickasaw River and the wind and rain

come and robbed them of their life

Chorus

So let her roll

Roll on muddy dream

Let her roll, takin' everything

I don’t know where I’m goin, Lord, I don’t know where I’m bound

Just far away from the water’s edge and a no-good river town

So let her roll

Roll on muddy dream

Let her roll, takin' everything

So let her roll

Roll on muddy dream

Let her roll, takin' everything

Let her roll…
