Look Out Cleveland

Look Out Cleveland

(album: The Band - 1969)

[Chorus:]
Look Out, Cleveland, the storm is coming through,
And it's running right up on you.
Look out, Houston, There'll be thunder on the hill;
Bye-bye, baby, don't cha lie so still.

Was Wedn'sday evening when first we heard the word,
It did not come by train nor bird.
T'was when Ben Pike stepped down to say,
"This old town's gonna blow away."

Chain lightning, frightning as it may seem,
Must not be mistaken for just another dream.
Justice of peace don't know his own fate,
But he'll go down in the shelter late.

[Chorus]

Hiding your money won't do no good,
Build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah!
When clouds of warning come into view,
It'll get the ol' woman right outta her shoe.

[Chorus]
