The RiCver ran through Howard County, it was the life blood of the land F
It made Cfields of green tobacco, aching Gbacks and callused hands
Mama Ctalked of a coming battle that the Fwomenfolk had to fight
GFG
C'Cause the good Lord owned the daytime, but the Devil seemed to own the
night
CWell it came up out of nowhere, from a dark and bitter Fseed
It was the Croughest kind of roadhouse and a Gmost unwanted weed
It drew the Cmenfolk like a magnet, the women Fknew what they had to do
So they Gput it in the hands of Jesus, 'cause they Fknew that Ghe'd come C
through
CAnd the rains came and the river swelled
And the Gmore they prayed the more Cit fell
CWhen the levies broke everybody saw the Gawesome power of God
Then the Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday
'Cause when the Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed Caway
CNow the mothers tell the story, of the week that the river Fraged
It's a Cpassing of the wisdom to the Gears of a tender age
CBetter walk the straight and narrow, better Fkeep a watchful eye
GF
G'Cause Cthere's a symbol of the wrath of heaven in every dark cloud in
the sky
C'Cause the rains came and the river swelled
And the Gmore they prayed the more Cit fell
CWhen the levies broke everybody saw the Gawesome power of God
Then the Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday
'Cause when the Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed Caway
Then the Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday
'Cause when the Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed Caway
Yes, when the Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed Caway
