歌曲歌詞
Wasn't that a mighty storm
Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning, well
Wasn't that a mighty storm
That blew all the people away
You know the year of 1900
Children, many years ago
Death cakme howling on the ocean
Death calls, you got to go
Now Galveston had a seawall
To keep the water down, and a
High tide from the coean
Spread the water over the town
Chorus
ou know the trumpets gave them waring
You'd better leave this place
Now, no one thoght of leaving
'Til death stared them in the face
And the trains they all were loaded
The people were all leaving town
The trestle gave way to the water
And the trains they went on down
Chorus
Rain it was a' falling
Thunder began to roll
Lightning flashed like hell fire
The wind began to blow
Death the cruel master
When the wind to blow
Rode in on a team of horses
I cried,"Death, won't you let me go"
Chorus
Hey, now trees fell on the island
And the houses give way
Some they strained and drowned
Some died in most every way
