You know the year of 1900[00:00:00]

That was sixty years ago[00:00:34]

Death come howling on the ocean[00:00:38]

Death calls you got to go[00:00:42]

Now Galveston had a seawall[00:00:46]

To keep the water down[00:00:50]

But high tide from the ocean[00:00:53]

Spread the water over the town[00:00:57]

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

Ya an' that a mighty storm in the morning[00:01:05]

Wasn't that a mighty storm[00:01:09]

Now it blew all the people all away[00:01:12]

You know the trumpets give them warning[00:01:17]

Said you'd better leave this place[00:01:20]

Woah no one thought of leaving[00:01:24]

'Til death stared them in the face[00:01:28]

Then the trains at the station were loadin'[00:01:32]

All the people leaving town[00:01:36]

An' the trestle give way without warning[00:01:40]

The train they went on down[00:01:45]

Ya the rain it was a' falling[00:01:52]

Thunder began to roll[00:02:08]

Lightning flashed like hell fire[00:02:12]

Yes the wind began to blow[00:02:15]

And it's death the cruel master[00:02:19]

When the wind began to blow[00:02:23]

Rode in on a team of horses[00:02:28]

Cried Death won't you let me go[00:02:31]

You know trees fell on the island[00:02:50]

And the houses give away[00:02:55]

Some they strained and drowned[00:02:59]

Some died in most every way[00:03:02]

And the sea began to rolling[00:03:06]

Mean'd the ships they could not land[00:03:11]

And I heard a captain crying[00:03:14]

God save the drowning man[00:03:18]

Ah the death your hands are clammy[00:03:32]

You got them on my knee[00:03:40]

You come and took my mother[00:03:46]

Won't you come back after me[00:03:49]

And the flood it took my neighbor[00:03:53]

An' it took my brother too[00:03:58]

I thought I heard my father call[00:04:02]

I watched my mother go[00:04:13]

You know the year of 1900[00:04:22]

Children sixty years ago[00:04:29]

Death come howling on the ocean[00:04:33]

Death calls you got to go[00:04:37]
