Big winds are coming,
listen to the humming
Hurry kids, be quick, don't stall
Big winds are coming, listen to the humming
If we don't hurry, it'll get us all
From daylight to dusk,
we've been workin' in the dust
Pickin' cotton, workin' side by side
Now I can't forget, yes I remember yet
The way Dad looked at me and he cried
Big winds are comin',
listen to the hummin'
Hurry kids, be quick, don't stall
Big winds are coming,
listen to the humming
We don't hurry, it'll get us all
So scared my lips were sealed,
I ran across the field
To warn my mom the storm was on its way
I knew I'd won my race
when I saw my mama's face
She turned away and I could hear her say
Big winds are coming,
listen to the humming
Hurry kids be quick, don't stall
Big winds are coming,
listen to the humming
We don't hurry, it'll get us all
My dad was in the cellar,
by now the sky was yellow
The winds so strong the
trees were falling
Outside I heard him crying,
as he laid there dying
I can still hear my daddy calling
Big wind is a -comin'
Listen to the hummin'
Hurry, kids, be quick, don't stall
Big wind is a -comin'
Listen to the hummin'
We don't hurry, kids, just stall
Big win, big win, big win
