Wasn't that a mighty storm? Yeah

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people away

Galveston had a sea wall

Meant to keep the water down

High tide from the ocean

Sent water all over town

Wasn't that a mighty storm? Yeah

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people away

Well, now the year was 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water

Death calls, you gotta go

The trumpets sounded warning

Said it's time to leave this place

But no one thought about leaving town

Till death stared them in the face

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people away

Then the sea started boiling

A thing that no ship could withstand

Think I heard a sea captain cryin' out

Somebody save a drownin' man

Had two trains loaded

People trying to leave the town

Tracks gave way to the water now

All of those people drowned

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Yes, blew all the people away

I said way back in 1900

Fifty long years ago

Death came walking on the water

Death calls, you gotta go

I said, death, your hands are clammy

You got them on the knee

You came and put a stone on my mother, oh

Coming after me

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people away

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Wasn't that a mighty storm in the water?

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Blew all the people away
