Chorus)
(Am)Well it blew in the valleys and it blew in the hills
(G) Blew till the moon and the stars stood still
(Am) Blew down to Hell till the devil caught a chill
(Am) It's the great high wind that blew the (G)low post(Am) down

(Am)Well it blew so hard it knocked the whiskers from the rye
(G)Blew so hard it knocked the buttons from the sky
(Am)When God looked down he said "Well-oh-well-oh-wye"
(Am) It's the great high wind that blew the (G)low post (Am) down

(Repeat chorus)

Well it blew so hard it knocked the feathers from the crows
Blew so hard it knocked the barley from the rows
When it blew across my feet I had to stop and count my toes
It's the great high wind that blew the low post down

(Repeat chorus)

Ah, the sheep in the field took shelter in the trees
But the trees blew down before the mighty breeze
My poor old cow, it went flying 'cross the sea
It's the great high wind that blew the low post down

(Repeat chorus)

Beedel, I added links up top to other threads on the song. One version is almost the same as what Padre posted, and another that Art Thieme posted has an extra verse. To avoid splitting the discussion, I'm going to close this thread and ask that people post in one of the longer, earlier threads.
