Guitar chords floem
CThe River ran through Howard County, it was the life blood of the FlandIt made
Cfields of green tobacco, aching Gbacks and callused handsMama
Ctalked of a coming battle that the Fwomenfolk had to fightG F GC'Cause the good Lord owned the daytime, but the Devil seemed to own thenight
CWell it came up out of nowhere, from a dark and bitter FseedIt was the
Croughest kind of roadhouse and a Gmost unwanted weedIt drew the
Cmenfolk like a magnet, the women Fknew what they had to doSo they
Gput it in the hands of Jesus, 'cause they Fknew that Ghe'd come C through
CAnd the rains came and the river swelledAnd the
Gmore they prayed the more Cit fellCWhen the levies broke everybody saw the Gawesome power of GodThen the
Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday'Cause when the
Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed CawayCNow the mothers tell the story, of the week that the river FragedIt's a
Cpassing of the wisdom to the Gears of a tender ageCBetter walk the straight and narrow, better Fkeep a watchful eyeG FG'Cause Cthere's a symbol of the wrath of heaven in every dark cloud inthe sky
C'Cause the rains came and the river swelledAnd the
Gmore they prayed the more Cit fellCWhen the levies broke everybody saw the Gawesome power of GodThen the
Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday'Cause when the
Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed CawayThen the
Cclouds rolled back and the rainbow came to Gbring a brighter Cday'Cause when the
Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed CawayYes, when the
Cflood hit Howard County, all the Gsins were washed CawayRate this interpretation
