Tupelo
Did you read about the flood?
It happened a long time ago
Way in a little country town
Way down in Mississippi
It rained and it rained
It rained both night and day
Listen, the people were worried
And, they began to cry
"Lord have mercy, where can we go now?"
There were women and there was children
Screamin' and cryin', "Lord have mercy"
"In this great disaster, who can we go to, now, but you Lord?"
In this great flood of Tupelo, Mississippi
It happened one evenin'
One Friday evenin'
A long time ago
It rained and it rained
The people of Tupelo was out in the farm
Gather and harvest
A dark cloud began to rise
Way back in the Western horizon
Mmm, wasn't that a mighty time?
Lemme hear you tell 'em 'bout it, Albert
Mmm, wasn't that a mighty time, in Tupelo?
Come on, Steve, lemme hear you tell 'em about it
Mmm, there was a mighty time, in Tupelo
So many people went down, to the mighty time in Tupelo
Runnin' in miles around
Come on, let all of us tell 'em about it
It happened a long time ago
Way in a little country town
Way down in Mississippi
It rained and it rained
It rained both night and day
Listen, the people were worried
And, they began to cry
"Lord have mercy, where can we go now?"
There were women and there was children
Screamin' and cryin', "Lord have mercy"
"In this great disaster, who can we go to, now, but you Lord?"
In this great flood of Tupelo, Mississippi
It happened one evenin'
One Friday evenin'
A long time ago
It rained and it rained
The people of Tupelo was out in the farm
Gather and harvest
A dark cloud began to rise
Way back in the Western horizon
Mmm, wasn't that a mighty time?
Lemme hear you tell 'em 'bout it, Albert
Mmm, wasn't that a mighty time, in Tupelo?
Come on, Steve, lemme hear you tell 'em about it
Mmm, there was a mighty time, in Tupelo
So many people went down, to the mighty time in Tupelo
Runnin' in miles around
Come on, let all of us tell 'em about it
