[00:00.37]sara evans-the week the river raged
[00:14.61]The river ran through howard county
[00:18.10]It was the life blood of the land
[00:23.16]It make fields of green tobacco
[00:26.65]Aching backs and callused hands
[00:29.53]
[00:30.21]Mama talked of a coming battle
[00:32.83]
[00:33.58]That the women folk had to fight
[00:36.45]
[00:37.01]cause the good lord owned the daytime
[00:40.44]But the devil seemed to own the night
[00:46.87]
[00:49.12]Well, it came up out of nowhere
[00:51.99]
[00:52.49]From a dark and bitter seed
[00:56.73]
[00:57.48]It was the roughest kind of roadhouse
[01:01.10]And a most unwanted weed
[01:04.47]It drew the men folk like a magnet
[01:07.15]
[01:07.71]The women knew what they had to do
[01:10.21]
[01:11.46]So they put it in the hands of jesus
[01:14.26]
[01:14.83]cause they knew that hed come through
[01:19.88]And the rains came and the river swelled
[01:23.69]And the more they prayed the more it fell
[01:26.68]When the levies broke everybody saw
[01:30.43]The awesome power of god
[01:33.55]Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
[01:37.29]To bring a brighter day
[01:41.28]
[01:42.10]cause when the flood hit howard county
[01:44.96]
[01:45.59]All the sins were washed away
[01:51.14]
[02:01.25]Now the mothers tell the story
[02:03.87]
[02:04.56]Of the week that the river raged
[02:08.99]
[02:09.62]Its the passing of the wisdom
[02:12.61]
[02:13.17]To the ears of tender age
[02:15.97]
[02:16.60]Better walk the straight and narrow
[02:20.10]Better keep a watchful eye
[02:23.28]cause theres a symbol of the wrath of heaven
[02:26.71]In every dark cloud in the sky
[02:32.02]And the rains came and the river swelled
[02:35.64]And the more they prayed the more it fell
[02:38.75]When the levies broke everybody saw
[02:42.44]The awesome power of god
[02:45.74]Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
[02:49.37]To bring a brighter day
