my poor Uncle Jimmy Turk
he got his house full of water and dirt
in that flood of `94 Pine Island Bayou
came thru his door
In that flood of `94
that devil rain began t`poor it swelled the banks of the Sabine
those waters dark and warm and mean
when that bayou began to crest
my Uncle Jimmy did his best
t`save his family and his home
to this day you can hear him moan
