Did ya read about the

In Tupelo, Mississippi.

Destroyed.

night and day.
The people was worried.
Didn't have no to go.
Could may people, cryin' "Lord!"

'Cause the only one,
That we can to"
Happened a long ago.
A town,
Way in Mississippi,
In

Cryin', "Lord, mercy!
You're the only one now, that we can to."

I'll never forget it.
The flood in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Oh-hmm, Lord, mercy!
Wasn't that a time? Tupelo's gone.
