Mighty Day
I remember down in Galveston
When storm winds swept the town
The high tide from the ocean, Lord
Put water all around
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day. (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God that morning
When the storm winds swept the town
The winds began to blowin'
The rains began to fall
The lightning shafts were cracklin', Lord
And the thunder started to roll
The trumpets warned the people
They better leave this place
But never meant to leave there homes
Till death was in their face
The seas began to rollin'
The ships they could not land
I heard a captain crying, God
Please save this drowin' man
The trains they all were loaded
With people leavin' town
The tracks gave way to the ocean, Lord
And the trains they went on down
The waters like some river
They went a-rushin' to and fro
I seen my father drowin', God
And I watched my mother go
Now Death, your hands are icey
You've got them on my knee
You took away my mother now
You're coming after me
Repeat the last 3 lines of chorus
When storm winds swept the town
The high tide from the ocean, Lord
Put water all around
Wasn't that a mighty day? (A mighty day)
A mighty day. (A mighty day)
A mighty day, great God that morning
When the storm winds swept the town
The winds began to blowin'
The rains began to fall
The lightning shafts were cracklin', Lord
And the thunder started to roll
The trumpets warned the people
They better leave this place
But never meant to leave there homes
Till death was in their face
The seas began to rollin'
The ships they could not land
I heard a captain crying, God
Please save this drowin' man
The trains they all were loaded
With people leavin' town
The tracks gave way to the ocean, Lord
And the trains they went on down
The waters like some river

You took away my mother now
You're coming after me
