when the sky grows dark and the shadows grow long
when the rain won't fall and the wind blows strong
i hope and i pray that the wind won't blow me down
when the cattle grow thin and the harvest sparse
when the hens won't lay and my throat is parched
i hope and i pray that the wind won't blow me down
come mocking bird let me hear your cry
let me see that sun burn down the sky
my back will ache and my hands are gonna bleed
but it won't blow me down
