That Hurricane
It was 1961 we were caught with nowhere to run
A southern town down on the coast
On the Gulf of Mexico
We fled north but then turned back
Because that storm changed its path
As we nailed the plywood back
The wind came up and the sky turned black
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
They say the bad side of that storm
Passed over us to do its harm
But we held on and we held tight
As the water began to rise
It was the longest darkest day
Every soul began to pray
I could hear the grownups say
Have mercy on us today
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
A southern town down on the coast
On the Gulf of Mexico
We fled north but then turned back
Because that storm changed its path
As we nailed the plywood back
The wind came up and the sky turned black
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
They say the bad side of that storm
Passed over us to do its harm
But we held on and we held tight
As the water began to rise
It was the longest darkest day
Every soul began to pray
I could hear the grownups say
Have mercy on us today
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
The endless wind and the drivin' rain
Sound like the engine of a train
We all knelt down in the hall
And we prayed old house don't fall
