FLORIDA STORM
Composed by J. Jackson, July 18, 1928
1. Sep-tem-ber Eight-eenth, Nine-teen Hun-dred and Twen-ty-six, The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, Their cries were too late their cry-ing was in vain, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy, in the storm.
2. A pit-y and a shame all the peo-ple in the rain, But God show'd His mer-cy in the storm, It was ver-y sad that they lost all they had, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm.
3. The wind with a might-y sound laid man-y build-ings down, But God show'd His mer-cy in the storm, Night comes on you know they had no where to go, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm.
4. The streets were all a mess it was so no one could pass, Moth-ers look'd for chil-dren in the storm, Fa-thers tried in vain it was a shame I know, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm.
5. The doc-tors got the news so man-y that were bruised, To-geth-er with the Red Cross on the train, They all came in haste to see a-bout their case, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm.
CHORUS
The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The col-ored and the white stay'd a-wake all the night, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm. Storm.
The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The col-ored and the white stay'd a-wake all the night, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm. Storm.
The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm, The col-ored and the white stay'd a-wake all the night, Cry-ing Lord have mer-cy in the storm. Storm.
