High Water Everywhere is a blues song by Charley Patton that was recorded under the impact of the Great Mississippi Flood in 1927 and recorded on Paramount Records in 1929 in the village of Grafton, Wisconsin . Since the running time of records was still very limited at that time, Patton recorded his song in two parts, each of which was around three minutes long and marketed as the A and B sides.
In 2001 Bob Dylan released the song High Water (For Charley Patton) on his 31st studio album "Love and Theft" as a tribute to Patton's song.
