Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Their prophets give them warning
You better leave this place'.
They never thought of leaving
Til death looked them in the face
Now death in 1900
About 15 years ago
You brought a storm ask my mother
With you she had to go
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Galveston had a seawall
To keep that water down
But the hight tide from the ocean
Put water cover the town
Death, the cruel master
And the wind began to blow
Rode out on a trail of horses
Said death let me go'
Death let me go'
'Now death let me go'
'Now death let me go'
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
Wasn't that a mighty storm, wasn't that a mighty storm with water,
Wasn't that a mighty storm that blew the people all away
