《The Week The River Raged》歌词

[00:00:01] The Week The River Raged - Sara Evans

[00:00:14] The river ran through howard county

[00:00:17] It was the life blood of the land

[00:00:23] It make fields of green tobacco

[00:00:26] Aching backs and callused hands

[00:00:30] Mama talked of a coming battle

[00:00:33] That the women folk had to fight

[00:00:37] Cause the good lord owned the daytime

[00:00:40] But the devil seemed to own the night

[00:00:49] Well it came up out of nowhere

[00:00:52] From a dark and bitter seed

[00:00:57] It was the roughest kind of roadhouse

[00:01:00] And a most unwanted weed

[00:01:04] It drew the men folk like a magnet

[00:01:07] The women knew what they had to do

[00:01:10] So they put it in the hands of jesus

[00:01:14] Cause they knew that hed come through

[00:01:19] And the rains came and the river swelled

[00:01:23] And the more they prayed the more it fell

[00:01:26] When the levies broke everybody saw

[00:01:30] The awesome power of god

[00:01:33] Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came

[00:01:37] To bring a brighter day

[00:01:41] Cause when the flood hit howard county

[00:01:45] All the sins were washed away

[00:02:01] Now the mothers tell the story

[00:02:04] Of the week that the river raged

[00:02:09] Its the passing of the wisdom

[00:02:12] To the ears of tender age

[00:02:16] Better walk the straight and narrow

[00:02:19] Better keep a watchful eye

[00:02:23] Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of heaven

[00:02:26] In every dark cloud in the sky

[00:02:31] And the rains came and the river swelled

[00:02:35] And the more they prayed the more it fell

[00:02:38] When the levies broke everybody saw

[00:02:42] The awesome power of god

[00:02:45] Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came

[00:02:49] To bring a brighter day

[00:02:54] Cause when the flood hit howard county

[00:02:57] All the sins were washed away

[00:03:16] Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came

[00:03:20] To bring a brighter day

[00:03:24] Cause when the floods hit howard country

[00:03:28] All the sins were washed away

[00:03:33] Cause when the floods hit howard country

[00:03:37] All the sins were washed away
