Big Wind

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'…
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 comin'…
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'…
Big wind big wind big wind
