Big Wind

From daylight till dusk we've been a working in the dust Picking cotton working side by side Well I can't forget yes I remember yet The way my daddy looked at me and cried Big wind's a coming listen to the humming Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed To warn my mom the storm is on its way Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face And the way she looked at me and said Big wind's a coming listen to the humming Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all Oh but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow The wind was a blowing trees were falling And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying It seemed I could still hear him calling Big wind's a coming listen to the humming Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
