the highwaymen (folk) - mighty day lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i remember that september
storm winds swept the town
women and children were dyin’, god
death was all around

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[verse 2]
there was a seawall there in galveston
to keep the waters down
but the high tide from the ocean
let water into that town

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?
[verse 3]
a trumpet blew a warnin’
“you better leave this place”
but they never dared to leave their homes
’til death was in their face

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[verse 4]
then the sea began a+rollin’
and the ships they could not land
i heard a captain cryin’ out
“oh, save this drownin’ land”

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?
[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day? (mighty)
wasn’t it a mighty day? (day)
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[verse 5]
the water like some river
came rushin’ to and fro
i watched my mother drowned and died
i saw my father go

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?

[chorus]
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day?
wasn’t it a mighty day
great god, that mornin’ when the storm winds swept the town?
