The DT has another version of the song:

GALVESTON FLOOD

It was a September evening when the sky was dark and grey
Raging wind and water battled Hell in its sway
The rich folk in the mansions and the poor ones in the dell
Were swept into eternity the story left to tell

Tony Rice ~ Galveston Flood     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gdz6M2b8ks
