Classic Poem

Now this dark cloud is rising
and it's thundering all around
Now this dark cloud is rising
and it's thundering all around
Look like something bad is gonna happen
you better lower your airplane down

Now that mean old twister's coming
poor people running every which-a-way
Now that mean old twister's coming
poor people running every which-a-way
Every body's on a wonder
what's the matter with the cruel world today

Now my mama told me
when I was only five months old
Now my mama she told me
when I was only five months old
If you obey your preacher
the Good Lord is gonna bless your soul

Now the daylight is failing
and the moon begin to rise
Now the daylight is failing
and the moon begin to rise
I'm just down here weeping and moaning
right by my mama's side

Now I'm going home
I done did all in this world that I could
Now I'm going home
I done did all in this world that I could
Says I got everybody happy
'round here in my neighborhood
