Lyrics

Major Crowe Major Crowe flew in a rich man with ideas No one knows what awful signs led him here He bought up every bar and made them houses of The Lord Saying, “This town shall shake no more” He’s gonna teach us all the things that we don’t know Oh, save me from myself Father Crowe The Devil has your names all lined up in a row That’s where every last one of you gonna go The clouds rolled in and the wind began to blow That hurricane has swept away old Major Crowe For today was the tomorrow we were worrying about before We ain’t worrying about the Crowe no more A veteran of the National Guard he said Every story felt like something he had read Left his family and the war for the holy ghost instead A soldier armed with a stolen word to spread He terrorized my every working day I almost left the town where I was born and raised One day I asked the Lord , “could you listen to what I say?” She sent that hurricane straight away The clouds rolled in and the wind began to blow That hurricane has swept away old Major Crowe For today was the tomorrow we were worrying about before We ain’t worrying about the Crowe no more When the wind and rain had finally cleared Every woman, child and man was left standing here She ain’t touch a single home, she ain’t block a single road But for one man who ain’t paid what he owed Drop your bags and dance on down the road That hurricane has swept away old Major Crowe For today was the tomorrow we were worrying about before We ain’t worrying about the Crowe no more
