	Story Behind the Song Recorded on a 130 dollar 4-track in the jam room on December 18th, 2002 Lyrics Wasn't that a mighty storm... Wasn't that a mighty storm in the mornin Wasn't that a mighty storm... Blew all the people away... Way back in 1900 Fifty long years ago Death came a knockin on the waterfront When death calls, ya got to go... Galveston had a sea-wall... Meant to keep the water down But high tides from the ocean Blew water over Galveston... The church bells chimed out a warnin'... Said its time to leave this place... But nobody thought about leavin town... Till death stared them in the face Right then the sea it started roilin'... A thing that no ship could stand... Thought I heard the captain now callin out... Somebody save a drownin' man And there were t-two trains loaded... With people tryin to leave the town... The racks gave way to the water now now... All of those people drowned... Way back in 1900 Fifty long years ago Death came a knockin on the waterfront When death calls, ya got to go..
