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 C
The way my daddy looked at me and 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 C
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed
G7 C
To warn my mom the storm is on its way
Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face
G7 C
And the way she looked at me and 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 C
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
Oh but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
G7 C
The wind was a blowing trees were falling
And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying
G7 C
It seemed I could still hear him 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 C
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
