[00:21.69]You know the year was ninteen-hundred
[00:25.21]Fifteen years ago death came howling on the ocean
[00:31.90]Death calls you gotta go galveston had a sea wall
[00:38.63]To keep the water down and a high tide from the ocean
[00:45.43]Spread the water over the town
[00:49.10]Wasn't that a mighty storm wasn't that a mighty storm
[00:55.74]Wasn't that a mighty storm it blew the people all away
[01:02.14]You know the trumpets gave them warning
[01:05.81]You'd better leave this place
[01:08.74]Now no one thought of leaving
[01:12.17]Till Death stared them in the face
[01:15.51]And the trains they all were loaded
[01:18.93]The people were all leaving town
[01:22.33]The trestles gave way to the water
[01:25.45]And the trains they went on down now
[01:29.50]Wasn't that a mighty storm wasn't that a mighty storm
[01:36.22]Wasn't that a mighty storm it blew the people all away
[02:13.52]Rain it was a falling thunder began to roll
[02:20.08]Lightning flashed like hellfire the wind began to blow
[02:26.41]And the seas began to rolling
[02:29.72]And the ships they could not stand
[02:33.04]And I heard a captain crying
[02:36.34]Good God save a drowning man
[02:40.16]Death your hands are clammy
[02:43.85]You got them on my knee
[02:47.07]You come and took my mother
[02:50.13]Won't you come back for me
[02:53.67]Death you cruel master
[02:56.50]When the wind began to blow
[03:00.34]Rode in on a team of horses
[03:03.73]Cried oh Death won't you let me go
[03:07.76]Wasn't that a mighty storm wasn't that a mighty storm
[03:14.00]Wasn't that a mighty storm it blew the people all away
[03:20.56]Wasn't that a mighty storm wasn't that a mighty mighty storm
[03:27.48]Wasn't that a mighty storm it blew the people all away
