| Song | Galveston Flood |
| Artist | Tom Rush |
| Album | The Very Best of Tom Rush: No Regrets 1962-1999 |
| 作曲 : Duffey, Rush | |
| You know the year of 1900 | |
| That was sixty years ago | |
| Death come howling on the ocean | |
| Death calls, you got to go | |
| Now Galveston had a seawall | |
| To keep the water down | |
| But high tide from the ocean | |
| Spread the water over the town | |
| (Chorus:) | |
| Wasn't that a mighty storm | |
| Ya an' that a mighty storm in the morning | |
| Wasn't that a mighty storm | |
| Now it blew all the people all away | |
| You know the trumpets give them warning | |
| Said you'd better leave this place | |
| Woah, no one thought of leaving | |
| 'til death stared them in the face | |
| Then the trains at the station were loadin' | |
| All the people leaving town | |
| An' the trestle give way without warning | |
| The train they went on down | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Ya, the rain it was a' falling | |
| Thunder began to roll | |
| Lightning flashed like hell fire | |
| Yes, the wind began to blow | |
| And it's death the cruel master | |
| When the wind began to blow | |
| Rode in on a team of horses | |
| Cried, "Death, won't you let me go". | |
| (Chorus) | |
| You know trees fell on the island | |
| And the houses give away | |
| Some they strained and drowned | |
| Some died in most every way | |
| And the sea began to rolling | |
| Mean'd the ships they could not land | |
| And I heard a captain crying | |
| "God save the drowning man". | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Ah, the death your hands are clammy | |
| You got them on my knee | |
| You come and took my mother | |
| Won't you come back after me | |
| And the flood it took my neighbor | |
| An' it took my brother too | |
| I thought I heard my father call... | |
| I watched my mother go | |
| (Chorus) | |
| You know the year of 1900 | |
| Children, sixty years ago | |
| Death come howling on the ocean | |
| Death calls, you got to go | |
| (Chorus 2X) |
