Would you look out of your window it's another rainy day How much more water can this valley take? The rain's a-fallin' hard, it's fillin' up the lake Better pray for the sun to shine or else that dam will break (Or else that dam will break) The Pittsburgh men came and dammed up the creek They put a fish gate over the hole so no fish could leave They took out all the drain pipes now the lake can't be controlled And if that dam gives, God have mercy on their souls (God have mercy on their souls) The creeks are running high and we don't know how long That dam will hold if it blows we'll all be gone The telegraph wire said there's trouble up the line Put a hat on that pretty little head and get to where it's dry (You better get to where it's dry) Wait, stop and listen, that's the whistle from Hess' train You know what that means, son, disaster's on its way The South Fork dam broke, now hear me say Go get the baby, and stay where it's safe (Better stay where it's safe) Now there's a wall of water roaring like a train The city's been destroyed and there's twelve hundred slain The air's full of smoke and death and all kinds of pain And we're haunted by the whistle of John Hess' train (Haunted by the whistle of John Hess' train)
