Big Wind

Big wind's a coming listen to the humming hurry kids be quick don't stall
Big wind's a coming listen to the humming if we don't hurry it'll get us all
From daylight to dusk we've been a working in the dust
Picking cotton working 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 coming

So scared my lips were scaled I ran across the field
To warn my mom to storm was on its 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 coming

My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
The wind's so strong the trees were falling
Outside I heard him crying as he lay there dying I can still hear my daddy calling
Big wind's a coming

Big wind big wind big wind
