Big Wind

Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' hurry kids be quick don't stall
Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' if we don't hurry it'll ge us all

From daylight to dusk we've been a workin' in the dust
Pickin' cotton workin' side by side
Now I can't forget yes I remember yet the way dad looked at me and he cried
Big wind's a comin'...

So scared my lips were scaled I ran across the field
To warn my mom to storm was on its way
I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mommy's face
She turned away and I could hear her say
Big wind's a comin'...

My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
The wind's so strong the trees were fallin'
Outside I heard him cryin' as he lay there dyin' I can still hear my daddy callin'
Big wind's a comin'...
Big wind big wind big wind
