Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' hurry kids be quick don't stall
  Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' if we don't hurry it'll ge us all
  
  From daylight to dusk we've been a workin' in the dust
  Pickin' cotton workin' side by side
  Now I can't forget yes I remember yet the way dad looked at me and he cried
  Big wind's a comin'...
  
  So scared my lips were scaled I ran across the field
  To warn my mom to storm was on its way
  I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mommy's face
  She turned away and I could hear her say
  Big wind's a comin'...
  
  My dad was in the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
  The wind's so strong the trees were fallin'
  Outside I heard him cryin' as he lay there dyin' I can still hear my daddy callin'
  Big wind's a comin'...
  Big wind big wind big wind
