《Galveston Flood》歌词

[00:05:20] 浣滄洸 : Duffey, Rush

[00:05:20] You know the year of 1900

[00:05:20] That was sixty years ago

[00:05:20] Death come howling on the ocean

[00:05:20] Death calls, you got to go

[00:05:20] Now Galveston had a seawall

[00:05:20] To keep the water down

[00:05:20] But high tide from the ocean

[00:05:20] Spread the water over the town

[00:05:20] (Chorus:)

[00:05:20] Wasn't that a mighty storm

[00:05:20] Ya an' that a mighty storm in the morning

[00:05:20] Wasn't that a mighty storm

[00:05:20] Now it blew all the people all away

[00:05:20] You know the trumpets give them warning

[00:05:20] Said you'd better leave this place

[00:05:20] Woah, no one thought of leaving

[00:05:20] 'til death stared them in the face

[00:05:20] Then the trains at the station were loadin'

[00:05:20] All the people leaving town

[00:05:20] An' the trestle give way without warning

[00:05:20] The train they went on down

[00:05:20] (Chorus)

[00:05:20] Ya, the rain it was a' falling

[00:05:20] Thunder began to roll

[00:05:20] Lightning flashed like hell fire

[00:05:20] Yes, the wind began to blow

[00:05:20] And it's death the cruel master

[00:05:20] When the wind began to blow

[00:05:20] Rode in on a team of horses

[00:05:20] Cried, "Death, won't you let me go".

[00:05:20] (Chorus)

[00:05:20] You know trees fell on the island

[00:05:20] And the houses give away

[00:05:20] Some they strained and drowned

[00:05:20] Some died in most every way

[00:05:20] And the sea began to rolling

[00:05:20] Mean'd the ships they could not land

[00:05:20] And I heard a captain crying

[00:05:20] "God save the drowning man".

[00:05:20] (Chorus)

[00:05:20] Ah, the death your hands are clammy

[00:05:20] You got them on my knee

[00:05:20] You come and took my mother

[00:05:20] Won't you come back after me

[00:05:20] And the flood it took my neighbor

[00:05:20] An' it took my brother too

[00:05:20] I thought I heard my father call...

[00:05:20] I watched my mother go

[00:05:20] (Chorus)

[00:05:20] You know the year of 1900

[00:05:20] Children, sixty years ago

[00:05:20] Death come howling on the ocean

[00:05:20] Death calls, you got to go

[00:05:20] (Chorus 2X)
