gourds – raining in port arthur lyrics
Loading...
this afternoon i walked out into a ditch
the crawfish stirred the water
the papermill blew in on the southeastern wind
and it was raining in port arthur
i pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine
the sun was dropping on the lower neches valley
i called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar
and it was raining in port arthur
that night my daddy drove us to maw maw’s
he and mama wanted to be alone
i sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother
and it was raining in port arthur
the refinerys hum and glow from the road
and i listen to the dove as she mourns
i’m standing in the rice fields of beaumont
and it was raining in port arthur
