Chorus:
Wasn't that a mighty storm
Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning
Say, wasn't that a mighty storm
Blew all the people away
Well, Galveston had a sea wall
Meant to keep the water down
High tide from the ocean
Sent water over Galveston
Chorus
Yeah, year was 1900
Fifty long years ago
d**h came walking on the water that day
d**h calls, you gotta go
Now the trumpets,they sounded warning
Said it's time to leave this place
But no one thought about leaving town
Til d**h stared them in the face
Chorus
Right then the sea started boiling
A thing that no ship could stand
I thought I heard a captain crying out
Somebody save a drowning man
They had two trains loaded
With people trying to leave town
Tracks gave way to the water now
And all of those people drowned
Chorus
I said the year was 1900
Fifty long years ago
d**h came walking on the water
d**h calls, you gotta go
I said d**h, your hands are clammy
You got them on my knee
You came and threw a stone at my mother
And now you're coming after me.
