Hurricane Jesse Songtext

von Restless

HURRICANE JESSIE.

[Verse: I. A BREEZE BELOW ZERO FREEZE,]
WHIPPIN' UP THE RIVER TEARIN' THRU THE TREES.
GENERATIN' POWER ON THE SOUTHERN WIND,
MR. TWISTERS' SISTER CAME -A- BLOWIN' IN.
ROCK N' ROLLED MY PICK-UP TRUCK N' BROKE UP THE SHACK,
TRAIL O' DEVASTATION FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK.
MAMA RAN US DOWN INTO THE CELLAR BELOW,
PRAYIN' THAT THE HURRICANE WOULD FINISH UP N' BLOW,
HOW WE EVER GOT OUT OF THERE NOBODY KNOWS,
BUT BY THE TIME THAT SHE GOT THROUGH WITH US WE ALL
HAD TO PACK UP N' GO!

. HURRICANE JESSIE!
HURRICANE JESSIE! (stop).

[Verse 2: . DADDY GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES,]
DEAR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY HELP US PLEASE.
" WHAT EVER DID WE DO TO MAKE YOU MAD AT US?"
MAMA GATHERED DADDY UP N' PUT HIM ON THE BUS.
"DON'T WORRY HONEY IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT,"
PAPA SAW THE DEVIL, MAMA SAW THE LIGHT.
"LORD I KNOW THERE'S GOTTA BE A REASON FOR THIS,"
MR TWISTER'S SISTER'S GOT MY NAME ON HER LIST
WHO COULD EVER TELL THAT THERE WOULD COME US A DAY
WHEN HURRICANE JESSIE WOULD COME TO TOWN N' BLOW IT ALL AWAY

. HURRICANE JESSIE!
HURRICANE JESSIE!
HURRICANE JESSIE!
HURRICANE JESSIE! (stop).
LEAD.
[Verse 3: . PRAYIN' FOR THE MORNIN' LIGHT,]
MAMAS' INNER SPIRIT WAS -A- BURNIN' BRIGHT.
WE ALL GOT OFF THE GREYHOUND IN A ONE HORSE TOWN,
AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANYWHERE TO LAY ME DOWN.
WE PUT IT ALL BEHIND US AT THE BREAK O' DAY,
MAMA TOLD US EVERYTHING WOULD BE O.K.
BUT NOBODY EVEN SAW IT COMIN'
EVERYBODY SCREAMIN' AND-A-RUNNIN'
"GRAB WHATEVER YOU GOT LEFT-N-GET BACK ON THE TRACK"
COS HURRICANE JESSIE IS -A- COMIN' BACK!

. HURRICANE JESSIE!(IS -A- COMIN' BACK)
HURRICANE JESSIE!(IS -A- COMIN' BACK)
HURRICANE JESSIE!(IS -A- COMIN' BACK)
HURRICANE JESSIE!(IS -A- COMIN' BACK)
BUT NOBODY EVEN SAW IT COMIN'
EVERYBODY SCREAMIN' AND-A-RUNNIN'
"GRAB WHATEVER YOU GOT LEFT-N-GET BACK ON THE TRACK"
COS HURRICANE JESSIE IS -A- COMIN' BACK!...

. HURRICANE JESSIE!(IS -A- COMIN' BACK)(REPEAT TO FADE).
