Big Wind

Big Wind - Porter Wagoner

Written by：Zanetis/Walker/Mccormick

From daylight till dusk we've been a working in the dust

Picking cotton working side by side

Well I can't forget yes I remember yet

The way my daddy looked at me and cried

Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all

Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed

To warn my mom the storm is on it's way

Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face

And the way she looked at me and said

Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

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

The wind was a blowing trees were falling

And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying

It seemed I could still hear him calling

Son big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be quick don't stall

You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all

Big wind big wind's a coming
