James Taylor - Wasn't That a Mighty Storm lyrics

Chorus: Wasn't that a mighty storm Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Say, wasn't that a mighty storm Blew all the people away Well, Galveston had a sea wall Meant to keep the water down High tide from the ocean Sent water over Galveston Chorus Yeah, year was 1900 Fifty long years ago d**h came walking on the water that day d**h calls, you gotta go Now the trumpets,they sounded warning Said it's time to leave this place But no one thought about leaving town Til d**h stared them in the face Chorus Right then the sea started boiling A thing that no ship could stand I thought I heard a captain crying out Somebody save a drowning man They had two trains loaded With people trying to leave town Tracks gave way to the water now And all of those people drowned Chorus I said the year was 1900 Fifty long years ago d**h came walking on the water d**h calls, you gotta go I said d**h, your hands are clammy You got them on my knee You came and threw a stone at my mother And now you're coming after me.
