It was the year of 1900 that was 80 years ago Death come'd a howling on the ocean and when death calls you've got to go Galveston had a sea wall just to keep the water down But a high tide from the ocean blew the water all over the town Wasn't that a mighty storm Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty storm It blew all the people away The sea began to rolling the ships they could not land I heard a captain crying Oh God save a drowning man The rain it was a falling and the thunder began to roll The lightning flashed like Hell-fire and the wind began to blow The trees fell on the island and the houses gave away Some they strived and drowned others died every way The trains at the station were loaded with the people all leaving town But the trestle gave way with the water and the trains they went on down Old death the cruel master when the winds began to blow Rode in on a team of horses and cried death won't you let me go The flood it took my mother it took my brother too I thought I heard my father cry as I watched my mother go Old death your hands are clammy when you've got them on my knee You come and took my mother won't you come back after me? © SANGA MUSIC INC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
