Tom: 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
