Roger McGuinn - Mighty Day lyrics

I remember one September When storm winds swept the town; The high tide from the ocean, Lord Put water all around Chorus: Wasn't that a mighty day A mighty day A mighty day Great God, that morning When the storm winds swept the town! There was a sea-wall there in Galveston To keep the waters down But the high tide from the ocean, Lord Put water in the town The trumpets warned the people "You'd better leave this place!" But they never meant to leave their homes Till d**h was in their face The trains they all were loaded With people leaving town; The tracks gave way to the ocean, Lord And the trains they went on down The seas began to rolling The ships they could not land; I heard a Captain crying "God, please save a drowning man!" The waters, like some river Came a-rushing to and fro; I saw my father drowning, God And I watched my mother go! Now d**h, your hands are icy; You've got them on my knee You took away my mother Now you're coming after me!
