letra de mighty day - roger mcguinn

i remember one september
when storm winds swept the town;
the high tide from the ocean, lord
put water all around

chorus: wasn’t that a mighty day
a mighty day
a mighty day
great god, that morning
when the storm winds swept the town!
there was a sea-wall there in galveston
to keep the waters down
but the high tide from the ocean, lord
put water in the town
the trumpets warned the people
“you’d better leave this place!”
but they never meant to leave their homes
till death was in their face
the trains they all were loaded
with people leaving town;
the tracks gave way to the ocean, lord
and the trains they went on down
the seas began to rolling
the ships they could not land;
i heard a captain crying
“god, please save a drowning man!”
the waters, like some river
came a-rushing to and fro;
i saw my father drowning, god
and i watched my mother go!
now death, your hands are icy;
you’ve got them on my knee
you took away my mother
now you’re coming after me!
