Big Wind

C
From daylight till dusk we've been a
 working in the dust

               G7              C
Picking cotton working side by side


Well I can't forget yes I remember 
yet

                 G7               
The way my daddy looked at me and 
C
cried




Big wind's a coming listen to the 
humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the 
kids and get below

                        G7         
If we don't hurry it'll surely get 
   C
us all




Continues after the ad
Well I ran across the field so 
scared my lips was sealed

                   G7              
To warn my mom the storm is on its 
C
way


Well I knew I'd won my race when I 
saw my mammy's face

                G7              
And the way she looked at me and 
 C
said




Big wind's a coming listen to the 
humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the 
kids and get below

                        G7         
If we don't hurry it'll surely get 
   C
us all



Oh but dad was on the cellar and by 
now the sky was yellow

                       G7         
The wind was a blowing trees were 
C
falling


And outside I heard him crying and 
as he lay there dying

                  G7            
It seemed I could still hear him 
 C
calling



Big wind's a coming listen to the 
humming

                G7          C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


You know we can't be slow take the 
kids and get below

                        G7         
If we don't hurry it'll surely get 
   C
us all
