Big Wind Lyrics - Dolly Parton

(Wayne P. Walker - Alex Zanetis - George McCormick) 

Big wind, big wind's comin'. 

From daylight till dusk we've been a workin' in the dust 

Pickin' cotton workin' 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 comin', listen to the hummin' 

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 was scaled 

To warn my mom to storm was on its way 

Now I knew I'd won the race when I'd see my mama's face 

And the way she looked at me and said. 

Big wind's a comin', listen to the hummin' 

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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Oh, but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow 

The wind was blowin' trees were fallin' 

And outside I heard him cryin' and as he lay there dyin' 

It seemed I could still hear him sayin'.

Big wind, big wind's comin'...
