The Isabel Blues



My friend called me up was telling me about.
Isabel how she came up the river.
Blew his cottage away lord yeah.
She came up the river took everything.
Came up the river took everything in her path.
Lord he got them Isabel blues lord.
Yeah he's got them Isabel blues.
She came up the river,came up the river.
And blew his things away,lord blow it away.
Isabel,Isabel,Isabel why you so mean.
Lord why you so mean lord so mean.
Lord,lord she took it all,left nothing.
But rubble in your path,she was mean lord.
Blew down all the tree's just left.
Rubble in her path Isabel,Isabel.
You just left rubble in your path.
Lord he got them Isabel blues.
Yeah lord he got the Isabel blues.
