This is one of my favorite songs. Notice the musical key of the song goes up a half step after each new "foot". His simple descriptions of the water levels paint a picture of his poor, rural viewpoint. You also understand he's a youngster by the frequent questions to his parents. The parents respond with a positive tone reminiscent of how a parent would speak to their young child.
How many people in the present day would describe 4 feet of rising water as "Blessed with Rain".
