Big Wind

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



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

Hurry kids be quick don't stall

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

If we don't hurry it'll ge us all.



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

Pickin' cotton workin' side by side

Now I can't forget yes I remember yet

The way dad looked at me and he cried.



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

Hurry kids be quick don't stall

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

If we don't hurry it'll ge us all.



So scared my lips were sealed I ran across the field

To warn my mom the storm was on it's way

I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mommy's face

She turned away and I could hear her say.



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

Hurry kids be quick don't stall

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

If we don't hurry it'll ge us all.



My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow

The wind's so strong the trees were fallin'

Outside I heard him cryin' as he lay there dyin'

I can still hear my daddy callin'.



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

Hurry kids be quick don't stall

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

If we don't hurry it'll ge us all.



Big wind, big wind, big wind...
