WASN'T THAT A MIGHTY STORM

cho: Wasn't that a mighty storm
Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning, well
Wasn't that a mighty storm
That blew all the people all away.

The song commemorates the Galveston flood of September 1900, the greatest natural loss of life in the US at the time.

Recording by Tom Rush.
