big wind lyrics

Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin'
Hurry kids be quick don't stall
Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin'
If we don't hurry it'll ge us all

From daylight to dusk
We've been a workin' in the dust
Pickin' cotton workin' side by side
Now, I can't forget yes, I remember
Yet the way dad looked at me and he cried

Big wind's a comin'

So, scared my lips were scaled I ran across the field
To warn my mom to storm was on it's way
I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mommy's face
She turned away and I could hear her say

Big wind's a comin'

My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
The wind's so strong the trees were fallin'
Outside I heard him cryin' as he lay there dyin'
I can still hear my daddy callin'

Big wind's a comin'
Big wind, big wind, big wind
