Florida+Storm+Lyrics

"September Eighteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty Six The people cried mercy in the storm, Their cries were too late their crying was in vain, Crying Lord have mercy in the storm.

//Chorus:// The people cried mercy in the storm The people cried mercy in the storm The colored and the white stay'd awake all the night Crying Lord have mercy in the storm.

A pity and a shame all the people in the rain, But God show'd His mercy in the storm, It was very sad that they lost all they had, Crying Lord have mercy in the storm.

The wind with a mighty sound laid so many buildings down, But God show'd His mercy in the storm, Night comes on you know they had no where to go, Crying Lord have mercy in the storm.

The streets were all a mess it was so no one could pass, Mothers look'd for children in the storm, Fathers tried in vain it was a shame I know, Crying Lord have mercy in the storm.

The doctors got the news so many that were bruised, Together with [|the Red Cross] on the train ,They all came in haste to see about their case, Crying Lord have mercy in the storm."
