Lyrics Did you read about the flood A long time ago I a contry town Way back in the East Tupelo, Mississippi One friday evening A dark cloud rolled Start to raining It rained and it rained Both night and day The people of Tupelo Begin to get worried So Lord have mercy Who can we turn to now Women and children Screaming and crying So Lord have mercy What can we do now I never will Forget that day No town Tupelo, Mississippi It rained Both night and day The people of Tupelo Hell Who can to turn to It rained It rained both night and day Rained, rained, rained Both night and day
