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
