  C                                                                 F

  The River ran through Howard County, it was the life blood of the land

          C                               G

  It made fields of green tobacco, aching backs and callused hands

       C                                  F

  Mama talked of a coming battle that the womenfolk had to fight

             G                                    F               G

  C

  'Cause the good Lord owned the daytime, but the Devil seemed to own the

  night

  

  C                                                      F

  Well it came up out of nowhere, from a dark and bitter seed

             C                                G

  It was the roughest kind of roadhouse and a most unwanted weed

              C                                F

  It drew the menfolk like a magnet, the women knew what they had to do

          G                                         F         G         C

  So they put it in the hands of Jesus, 'cause they knew that he'd come

  through

  

  C

  And the rains came and the river swelled

          G                         C

  And the more they prayed the more it fell

  C                                       G

  When the levies broke everybody saw the awesome power of God

           C                                          G                C

  Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came to bring a brighter day

  

                  C                                G                C

  'Cause when the flood hit Howard County, all the sins were washed away

  

  C                                                          F

  Now the mothers tell the story, of the week that the river raged

         C                            G

  It's a passing of the wisdom to the ears of a tender age

  C                                           F

  Better walk the straight and narrow, better keep a watchful eye

                   G                                      F

  G      C

  'Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of heaven in every dark cloud in

  the sky

  

  

  C

  'Cause the rains came and the river swelled

          G                         C

  And the more they prayed the more it fell

  C                                       G

  When the levies broke everybody saw the awesome power of God

           C                                          G                C

  Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came to bring a brighter day

  

                  C                                G                C

  'Cause when the flood hit Howard County, all the sins were washed away

  

           C                                          G                C

  Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came to bring a brighter day

  

                  C                                G                C

  'Cause when the flood hit Howard County, all the sins were washed away

                C                                G                C

  Yes, when the flood hit Howard County, all the sins were washed away
