Текст, перевод и аккорды “The Week The River Raged”
The river ran through Howard County It was the life blood of the land It make fields of green tobacco Aching backs and callused hands Mama talked of a coming battle That the women folk had to fight 'Cause the good lord owned the daytime But the devil seemed to own the night Well, it came up out of nowhere From a dark and bitter seed It was the roughest kind of roadhouse And a most unwanted weed It drew the men folk like a magnet The women knew what they had to do So they put it in the hands of Jesus 'Cause they knew that he'd come through And the rains came and the river swelled And the more they prayed the more it fell When the levies broke everybody saw The awesome power of God Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came To bring a brighter day 'Cause when the flood hit Howard County All the sins were washed away Now the mothers tell the story Of the week that the river raged It's the passing of the wisdom To the ears of tender age Better walk the straight and narrow Better keep a watchful eye 'Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of Heaven In every dark cloud in the sky And the rains came and the river swelled And the more they prayed the more it fell When the levies broke everybody saw The awesome power of God Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came To bring a brighter day 'Cause when the flood hit Howard County All the sins were washed away
