It was the year of 1900 that was 80 years ago[00:00:00]

Death come'd a howling on the ocean and when death calls you've got to go[00:00:14]

Galveston had a sea wall just to keep the water down[00:00:20]

But a high tide from the ocean blew the water all over the town[00:00:25]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:00:31]

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning[00:00:33]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:00:36]

It blew all the people away[00:00:38]

The sea began to rolling the ships they could not land[00:00:54]

I heard a captain crying Oh God save a drowning man[00:00:59]

The rain it was a falling and the thunder began to roll[00:01:05]

The lightning flashed like Hell fire and the wind began to blow[00:01:10]

The trees fell on the island and the houses gave away[00:01:16]

Some they strived and drownded others died every way[00:01:21]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:01:27]

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning[00:01:29]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:01:31]

It blew all the people away[00:01:33]

The trains at the station were loaded with the people all leaving town[00:01:50]

But the trestle gave way with the water and the trains they went on down[00:01:54]

Old death the cruel master when the winds began to blow[00:02:00]

Rode in on a team of horses and cried death won't you let me go[00:02:05]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:02:11]

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning[00:02:13]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:02:16]

It blew all the people away[00:02:18]

The flood it took my mother it took my brother too[00:02:34]

I thought I heard my father call as I watched my mother go[00:02:39]

Old death your hands are clammy when you've got them on my knee[00:02:45]

You come and took my mother won't you come back after me[00:02:49]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:02:55]

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning[00:02:57]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:03:00]

It blew all the people away[00:03:02]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:03:06]

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning[00:03:08]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:03:10]

It blew all the people away[00:03:12]
