Big Wind

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
