Mighty Day 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?
