Water all around me, I ain't got no place to stand Water all around me, I ain't got no place to stand Hurricane done been here, killed all the crops on my land Blew down my log cabin, there's no shelter left for me Blew down my log cabin, there's no shelter left for me Food is all exhausted, I'm as weary as can be That old tornado came upon us yesterday That old tornado came upon us yesterday Mowing down in anger everything that's in its way Hear the wind a-howlin', hear the rollin' thunder crash Hear the wind a-howlin', hear the rollin' thunder crash Lord, it looks like a racke, just see that lightnin' flash Watch the buildin's crumble, crumble like a piece of clay Watch the buildin's crumble, crumble like a piece of clay Knows the gods are angry, got the blues so bad today
