Chorus:) |
|
Look Out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through, |
|
And it's runnin' right up on you. |
|
Look out, Houston, There'll be thunder on the hill; |
|
Bye-bye, baby, don't cha lie so still. |
|
Was Wedn'sday evenin' when first we heard the word, |
|
It did not come by train nor bird. |
|
T'was when Ben Pike stepped down to say, |
|
"This old town's gonna blow away." |
|
Chain lightnin', frightnin' as it may seem, |
|
Must not be mistaken for just another dream. |
|
Justice of peace don't know his own fate, |
|
But he'll go down in the shelter late. |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Hidin' your money won't do no good, |
|
Build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah! |
|
When clouds of warnin' come into view, |
|
It'll get the ol' woman right outta her shoe. |
|
(Chorus) |
