[Dolly Parton - Big Wind lyrics]
Big wind big wind's coming
From daylight till dusk we'd been
Working in the dust
Picking cotton working side by side
Oh I can't forget, I still remember yet
The way my daddy looked at me and cried
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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
I ran across the field so
Scared my lips were sealed
To warn my mom the storm was on it's way
Now I knew I'd won the race
When I'd seen my mama's face
And the way she looked at me and said
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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 in the cellar
And by now the sky was yellow
The wind was blowing, trees were falling
And outside I heard him crying
And as he lay there dying
It seemed I could still hear him saying
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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
From daylight till dusk we'd been
Working in the dust
Picking cotton working side by side
Oh I can't forget, I still remember yet
The way my daddy looked at me and cried
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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
I ran across the field so
Scared my lips were sealed
To warn my mom the storm was on it's way
Now I knew I'd won the race
When I'd seen my mama's face
And the way she looked at me and said
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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 in the cellar
And by now the sky was yellow
The wind was blowing, trees were falling
And outside I heard him crying
And as he lay there dying
It seemed I could still hear him saying
Big wind's a-coming listen to the humming
Hurry up now, 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
