Wasn't That a Mighty Storm

Wasn't that a mighty storm? Yeah

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people awayGalveston had a sea wall

Meant to keep the water down

High tide from the ocean

Sent water all over townWasn't that a mighty storm? Yeah

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people awayWell, now the year was 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water

Death calls, you gotta goThe trumpets sounded warning

Said it's time to leave this place

But no one thought about leaving town

Till death stared them in the faceWasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people awayThen the sea started boiling

A thing that no ship could withstand

Think I heard a sea captain cryin' out

Somebody save a drownin' manHad two trains loaded

People trying to leave the town

Tracks gave way to the water now

All of those people drownedWasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Yes, blew all the people awayI said way back in 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water

Death calls, you gotta goI said, death, your hands are clammy

You got them on the knee

You came and put a stone on my mother, oh

Coming after meWasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people awayWasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the water?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?
