[00:00:08] Come listen good people

[00:00:11] Wherever you are

[00:00:16] And hear a sad story

[00:00:20] You've been waiting for

[00:00:24] About the flood of '57

[00:00:28] As it happened to be

[00:00:33] In Kentucky Old Virginia

[00:00:36] And East Tennessee

[00:00:41] How the rains came down

[00:00:44] And we often had seen

[00:00:49] To swim a broad river

[00:00:52] Or some little stream

[00:00:58] But this one was different

[00:01:01] And we soon realized

[00:01:06] That the floods were raging

[00:01:09] And we fought for our lives

[00:01:23] Many were afraid

[00:01:26] As never before

[00:01:31] As the high muddy water

[00:01:34] Came in through their door

[00:01:40] Some were left homeless

[00:01:43] Their life savings gone

[00:01:48] But their lives had been spared

[00:01:51] And the cold rains came on

[00:01:57] Little babies were crying

[00:02:00] And others were sad

[00:02:05] For in all our lives

[00:02:08] We'd seen nothing so bad

[00:02:13] But the brave and the strong

[00:02:17] Were there by the score

[00:02:22] To help the sick and needy

[00:02:25] To safety on the shore

[00:02:30] How we all escaped it

[00:02:34] I never will know

[00:02:39] It must've been god's will

[00:02:42] It was not time to go

[00:02:47] And by the help of his mercy

[00:02:51] Some managed to smile

[00:02:56] And pass the disaster

[00:02:59] While the waters run wild
