Description
This anonymous traditional song from Texas describes the great flood that devastated Galviston at the beginning of the 20th century.It typifies the folk song genre of songs that describe historical events, especially great disasters. I believe it was first documented by song-collector and historian Alan Lomax from an inmate in a Louisiana prison.
