G C G It was the year of 1900 that was 80 years agoC G Death come'd a howling on the ocean and when death calls you've got to goC G Galveston had a sea wall just to keep the water downC G But a high tide from the ocean blew the water all over the town [Chorus]G Wasn't that a mighty stormC G Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty stormC G It blew all the people away [Verse]G C G The sea began to rolling the ships they could not landC G I heard a captain crying Oh God save a drowning manC G The rain it was a falling and the thunder began to rollC G The lightning flashed like Hell-fire and the wind began to blow [Bridge]C G The trees fell on the island and the houses gave awayC Gm Some they strived and drownded others died every wy [Chorus]G Wasn't that a mighty stormC G Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty stormC G It blew all the people away [Verse]G C G The trains at the station were loaded with the people all leaving townC G But the trestle gave way with the water and the trains they went on downC G Old death the cruel master when the winds began to blowC G Rode in on a team of horses and cried death won't you let me go [Chorus]G Wasn't that a mighty stormC G Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty stormC G It blew all the people away [Verse]G C G The flood it took my mother it took my brother tooC G I thought I heard my father call as I watched my mother goC G Old death your hands are clammy when you've got them on my kneeC G You come and took my mother won't you come back after me? [Chorus]G Wasn't that a mighty stormC G Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty stormC G It blew all the people away [Chorus]G Wasn't that a mighty stormC G Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning Wasn't that a mighty stormC G It blew all the people away
