Sinkin' (Faster bluegrass Version)
C. Linne Black

Vs1
Since your love went south it's been rainin'
Deep-runnin' gulleys cuttin' through the yard
Our little mountain cabin's just barely hangin'
Like me, this ole' leaky roof's 'bout to fall apart

Chorus
Sun pulls up the cover and keeps on sleepin'
Dark clouds hover, hangin' 'round grievin',and they ain't leavin'
Just rain, mud and tears, oh, I hate to think it
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'..... Sinkin'

vs2
Slid down a muddy hillside to the flooded bottom
Old wooden footbridge washed out at the creek
Our dirt road's in the river, highway is swallowed
No way that I can reach you, girl, far as I can see

Chorus
Sun pulls up the cover and keeps on sleepin'
Dark clouds hover, hangin' 'round grievin,and they ain't leavin'
Just rain, mud and tears, oh, my hope is shrinkin'
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'..... Sinkin'

bridge
Losin' you is the reason my whole world is cryin'
If you were back in my arms, the sun would be shinin'

Musical break
repeat chorus then:

Just rain, mud and tears, oh, I feel like drinkin'
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'.......Sinkin'

Water's risin higher, I'm sinkin' lower
Sinkin..sinkin'...sinkin
