Standard (EADGBE)

 The water line

 Is mighty high

 It rained so hard

 Even my tears couldn't dry

 And the valley went still

 And all the lines went down

 The day the Mad River got a hold of this town

Chorus

 And the river rolls

 One foot at a time

Over the bridges

 And the old water lines

 But there's hope in the valley

 After the hundred year flood

 Because the mad Mad River

Runs in our blood

Old lady jane

 She refused to go

 She sat there on her porch

 As the water was touching her toes

 And she closed her eyes

 Softly singin a tune

 She said if the Mad River is goin then I'm goin too
