Big Wind Chords & Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

[C]From daylight till dusk we've been a working in the dust

Picking cotton [G7]working side by [C]side

Well I can't forget yes I remember yet

The way my daddy [G7]looked at me and [C]cried


Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be [G7]quick don't [C]stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll [G7]surely get us [C]all


Well I ran across the field so scared my lips was sealed

To warn my mom the [G7]storm is on its [C]way


Well I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face

And the way she [G7]looked at me and [C]said


Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be [G7]quick don't [C]stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll [G7]surely get us [C]all


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

The wind was a blowing [G7]trees were [C]falling


And outside I heard him crying and as he lay there dying

It seemed I could [G7]still hear him [C]calling


Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

Hurry up son be [G7]quick don't [C]stall


You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below

If we don't hurry it'll [G7]surely get us [C]all
