Lyrics Galveston Flood - Tony Rice
It
was
the
year
of
1900
that
was
80
years
ago
Death
come'd
a
howling
on
the
ocean
and
when
death
calls
you've
got
to
go
Galveston
had
a
sea
wall
just
to
keep
the
water
down
But
a
high
tide
from
the
ocean
blew
the
water
all
over
the
town.
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
in
the
morning
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
It
blew
all
the
people
away.
The
sea
began
to
rolling
the
ships
they
could
not
land
I
heard
a
captain
crying
Oh
God
save
a
drowning
man
The
rain
it
was
a
falling
and
the
thunder
began
to
roll
The
lightning
flashed
like
Hell-fire
and
the
wind
began
to
blow
The
trees
fell
on
the
island
and
the
houses
gave
away
Some
they
strived
and
drownded
others
died
every
way.
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
in
the
morning
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
It
blew
all
the
people
away.
The
trains
at
the
station
were
loaded
with
the
people
all
leaving
town
But
the
trestle
gave
way
with
the
water
and
the
trains
they
went
on
down
Old
death
the
cruel
master
when
the
winds
began
to
blow
Rode
in
on
a
team
of
horses
and
cried
death
won't
you
let
me
go.
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
in
the
morning
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
It
blew
all
the
people
away.
The
flood
it
took
my
mother
it
took
my
brother
too
I
thought
I
heard
my
father
call
as
I
watched
my
mother
go
Old
death
your
hands
are
clammy
when
you've
got
them
on
my
knee
You
come
and
took
my
mother
won't
you
come
back
after
me?
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
in
the
morning
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
It
blew
all
the
people
away.
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
in
the
morning
Wasn't
that
a
mighty
storm
It
blew
all
the
people
away.
