Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember that September Storm winds swept the town Women and children were dyin', God Death was all around [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Verse 2] There was a seawall there in Galveston To keep the waters down But the high tide from the ocean Let water into that town [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Verse 3] A trumpet blew a warnin' "You better leave this place" But they never dared to leave their homes 'Til death was in their face [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Verse 4] Then the sea began a-rollin' And the ships they could not land I heard a captain cryin' "God, oh, save this drownin' land" [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? (Mighty) Wasn't it a mighty day? (Day) Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Verse 5] The water like some river Came rushin' to and fro I watched my mother drowned and died I saw my father go [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town? [Chorus] Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day? Wasn't it a mighty day Great God, that mornin' when the storm winds swept the town?
