The Duhks Mighty Storm

You know the year was 1900 15 years ago
Death came howling on the ocean
Death calls you gotta go
Galveston had a sea wall to keep the water down
and a high tide from the ocean spread the water
over the town

Wasn't that a Mighty Storm (x3)
It blew the people all away

You know the trumpets gave in the morning
You better leave this place
Now no one thought of leaving
till death stared them in the face
And the trains they all were loaded
the people were all leaving town
The tressels gave way to the water
and the trains they went all down

Wasn't that a Mighty Storm (x3)
It blew the people all away

Burning walls are falling
Thunder began to roll
Lightning flashed like hell fire
The wind began to blow
and the sea began to rolling
and the ships they could not stand
and I heard a captain crying
Oh God save a drowning man

Death your hands are clammy
You've got them on my knee
You come and took my mother
Won't you come back for me
Death you cruel master
When the wind began to blow
Rode in on a team of horses
Cried Oh Death won't you let me go

Wasn't that a Mighty Storm
Wasn't that a Mighty Storm (in the morning)
Wasn't that a Mighty Storm
It blew the people all away

Wasn't that a Mighty Storm
Wasn't that a Mighty Mighty Storm
Wasn't that a Mighty Storm
and it blew the people all away

Oh.
