The Week The River Raged - Sara Evans[00:00:01]
The river ran through howard county[00:00:14]
It was the life blood of the land[00:00:17]
It make fields of green tobacco[00:00:23]
Aching backs and callused hands[00:00:26]
Mama talked of a coming battle[00:00:30]
That the women folk had to fight[00:00:33]
Cause the good lord owned the daytime[00:00:37]
But the devil seemed to own the night[00:00:40]
Well it came up out of nowhere[00:00:49]
From a dark and bitter seed[00:00:52]
It was the roughest kind of roadhouse[00:00:57]
And a most unwanted weed[00:01:00]
It drew the men folk like a magnet[00:01:04]
The women knew what they had to do[00:01:07]
So they put it in the hands of jesus[00:01:10]
Cause they knew that hed come through[00:01:14]
And the rains came and the river swelled[00:01:19]
And the more they prayed the more it fell[00:01:23]
When the levies broke everybody saw[00:01:26]
The awesome power of god[00:01:30]
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came[00:01:33]
To bring a brighter day[00:01:37]
Cause when the flood hit howard county[00:01:41]
All the sins were washed away[00:01:45]
Now the mothers tell the story[00:02:01]
Of the week that the river raged[00:02:04]
Its the passing of the wisdom[00:02:09]
To the ears of tender age[00:02:12]
Better walk the straight and narrow[00:02:16]
Better keep a watchful eye[00:02:19]
Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of heaven[00:02:23]
In every dark cloud in the sky[00:02:26]
And the rains came and the river swelled[00:02:31]
And the more they prayed the more it fell[00:02:35]
When the levies broke everybody saw[00:02:38]
The awesome power of god[00:02:42]
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came[00:02:45]
To bring a brighter day[00:02:49]
Cause when the flood hit howard county[00:02:54]
All the sins were washed away[00:02:57]
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came[00:03:16]
To bring a brighter day[00:03:20]
Cause when the floods hit howard country[00:03:24]
All the sins were washed away[00:03:28]
Cause when the floods hit howard country[00:03:33]
All the sins were washed away[00:03:37]
