Big Wind

(Wayne P. Walker - Alex Zanetis - George McCormick)



From daylight till dusk we've been a workin' in the dust

Pickin' cotton workin' side by side

Well I can't forget yes I remember yet

The way my daddy looked at me and cried.



Big wind's a comin', listen to the hummin'

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all.



Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed

To warn my mom the storm is on its way

Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mamy's face

And the way she looked at me and said.



Big wind's a comin', listen to the hummin'

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all.



Oh, but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yeller

The wind was a blowin' trees were fallin'

And outside I heard him cryin' and as he lay there dyin'

It seemed I could still hear him callin'.



Son big wind's a comin', listen to the hummin'

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all.



Big wind, big wind's comin'...
