[Chorus] Wasn't that a mighty storm Wasn't that a mighty Storm in the morning Say, wasn't that a mighty storm Blew all the people away Well, Galveston had a sea wall Meant to keep the water down High tide from the ocean Sent water over Galveston [Chorus] Yeah, year was 1900 Fifty long years ago Death came walking on The water that day Death calls, you gotta go Now the trumpets,they sounded warning Said it's time to leave this place But no one thought about leaving town Til death stared them in the face [Chorus] Right then the sea started boiling A thing that no ship could stand I thought I heard a captain crying out Somebody save a drowning man They had two trains loaded With people trying to leave town Tracks gave way to the water now And all of those people drowned [Chorus] I said the year was 1900 Fifty long years ago Death came walking on the water Death calls, you gotta go I said Death, your hands are clammy You got them on my knee You came and threw a stone at my mother And now you're coming after me. [Chorus: x2]
