Текст песни: Wasn't That a Mighty Storm + перевод

Wasn’t that a mighty storm

Wasn’t that a mighty storm in the morning

Say, wasn’t that a mighty storm

Blew all the people away

Well, Galveston had a sea wall

Meant to keep the water down

High tide from the ocean

Sent water over Galveston

Yeah, year was 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water that day

Death calls, you gotta go

Now the trumpets, they sounded warning

Said it’s time to leave this place

But no one thought about leaving town

Til death stared them in the face

Right then the sea started boiling

A thing that no ship could stand

I thought I heard a captain crying out

Somebody save a drowning man

They had two trains loaded

With people trying to leave town

Tracks gave way to the water now

And all of those people drowned

I said the year was 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water

Death calls, you gotta go

I said Death, your hands are clammy

You got them on my knee

You came and threw a stone at my mother

And now you’re coming after me
