Big Wind chords by Porter Wagoner

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

        G7       C
Picking cotton working side by side


Well I can't forget yes I remember yet

         G7        C
The way my daddy looked at me and cried




Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

        G7     C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


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

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




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

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


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

        G7        C
And the way she looked at me and said




Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

        G7     C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


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

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



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

            G7     C
The wind was a blowing trees were falling


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

         G7       C
It seemed I could still hear him calling



Big wind's a coming listen to the humming

        G7     C
Hurry up son be quick don't stall


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

            G7      C
