作曲 : Duffey, Rush

You know the year of 1900

That was sixty years ago

Death come howling on the ocean

Death calls, you got to go

Now Galveston had a seawall

To keep the water down

But high tide from the ocean

Spread the water over the town

(Chorus:)

Wasn't that a mighty storm

Ya an' that a mighty storm in the morning

Wasn't that a mighty storm

Now it blew all the people all away

You know the trumpets give them warning

Said you'd better leave this place

Woah, no one thought of leaving

'til death stared them in the face

Then the trains at the station were loadin'

All the people leaving town

An' the trestle give way without warning

The train they went on down

(Chorus)

Ya, the rain it was a' falling

Thunder began to roll

Lightning flashed like hell fire

Yes, the wind began to blow

And it's death the cruel master

When the wind began to blow

Rode in on a team of horses

Cried, "Death, won't you let me go".

(Chorus)

You know trees fell on the island

And the houses give away

Some they strained and drowned

Some died in most every way

And the sea began to rolling

Mean'd the ships they could not land

And I heard a captain crying

"God save the drowning man".

(Chorus)

Ah, the death your hands are clammy

You got them on my knee

You come and took my mother

Won't you come back after me

And the flood it took my neighbor

An' it took my brother too

I thought I heard my father call...

I watched my mother go

(Chorus)

You know the year of 1900

Children, sixty years ago

Death come howling on the ocean

Death calls, you got to go

(Chorus 2X)
