Did ya read about the flood? |
|
Happened long time ago |
|
In Tupelo, Mississippi |
|
There were thousands o' lives |
|
Destroyed |
|
It rained, it rained |
|
Both night and day |
|
The poor people was worried |
|
Didn't have no place to go |
|
Could hear may people, cryin' "Lord, have mercy" |
|
'Cause You're the only one that we can turn to" |
|
Happened a long time ago |
|
A little town |
|
Way back in Mississippi |
|
In Tupelo |
|
There was women, and there was children |
|
They were screamin' an' cryin' |
|
Cryin', "Lord, have mercy |
|
You're the only one now, that we can turn to" |
|
Way back down in Mississippi, a little country town |
|
I know ya read about it |
|
'Cause I'll never forget it |
|
The mighty flood in Tupelo, Mississippi |
|
Been years ago |
|
Lord, have mercy |
|
Wasn't that a mighty time? |
|
Tupelo's gone |
