Big Wind

	  		
C 
From daylight till dusk we've been a working in the dust 

               G7              C 
Picking cotton working side by side 

  
Well I can't forget yes I remember yet 
  
                 G7               C 
The way my daddy looked at me and cried 


  
  
Big wind's a coming listen to the humming 
  
                G7          C 
Hurry up son be quick don't stall 

  
You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below 

                        G7            C 
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all 


  
  
Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed 

                   G7              C 
To warn my mom the storm is on its way 

  
Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face 

                G7               C 
And the way she looked at me and said 



  
Big wind's a coming listen to the humming 
  
                G7          C 
Hurry up son be quick don't stall 

  
You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below 

                        G7            C 
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all 


  
Oh but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow 

                       G7         C 
The wind was a blowing trees were falling 

  
And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying 

                  G7             C 
It seemed I could still hear him calling 


  
Big wind's a coming listen to the humming 
  
                G7          C 
Hurry up son be quick don't stall 

  
You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below 

                        G7            C 
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
