Preaching Up a Storm

Estaban al lado del río en la costa del condado de LincolnThey were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
Cantando paz en el valle y predicando una tormentaSinging Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

Había una multitud reunida junto al ríoThere was a crowd gathered down by the river
Donde yo y Benny Thompson jugábamosWhere me and Benny Thompson used to play
Me preguntaba si tenían suficiente aguaI wondered if they had enough a water
Para lavar los pecados del viejo Lester HarperTo wash old Lester Harper's sins away
Porque oí a la Srta. Ida susurrar que está demasiado perdido para salvarloCause I heard Miss Ida whisper he's too lost to save

Bueno, cantaban y llovía y era aterradorWell they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening
Algunas cosas son difíciles de entender cuando tienes ocho añosSome things are hard to understand when you're eight
Todavía puedo oír el trueno y ver el relámpagoI can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
Cuando el predicador Hayes levantó sus manos para orarWhen Preacher Hayes raised his hands to pray
Podía sentir que mi cuerpo temblaba porque tenía tanto miedoI could feel my body tremble cause I was so afraid

Sí, estaban al lado del ríoYeah they were down by the river...

Yo estaba allí, pero apenas podía oír el sermónI was there but I could barely hear the sermon
Tenía miedo y no me importaba acercarmeI was scared and didn't care to get up close
Le oí decir que algo estaba ardiendoI heard him tell 'em something was a burning
Y luego gritó algo sobre un fantasmaAnd then he shouted something about a ghost
Y cuando bajaron en el aguaAnd when they walked down in the water
La hermana Harper gritó, por favor, no lo dejes irSister Harper hollered please don't let him go

Bueno, estaban al lado del ríoWell they were down by the river...
Estaban al lado del ríoThey were down by the river...
Estaban al lado del ríoThey were down by the river...
