California Earthquake
FThere was a California earthquake in the Fyear of 'F83 It Amshook the living Fdaylights out of the GOwens County GSeat There weren't a Fbuilding still left standing when the Fdust had cleared aFway Just a Amrumble in the Fdistance all the Gway to San FAndrea
Sherman Buck was driving his old mule into town When a big one came and shook so hard that it knocked him to the ground Lord there opened up a hole so big he thought his time was up Lord it swallowed up that poor old mule and it just missed Sherman Buck Chorus:
FCalifornia earthquake you just doFn't know what you've done We may fall off in the Amocean, Lord you'll Gnever make us Grun You're a Fpartner of the devil, Lord we Fain't afraid of Fhim We'll Ambuild ourselves anFother town so you can Gtear it down aFgain
Then came the quake of '99 that levelled Mission Creek The earth was like an ocean churning with waves of twenty feet Lord it sounded like a thousand trains were screaming underground Clean across to San Joachim they heard that mournful sound Chorus Then came one day the holocaust Lord on rocks of Franciso Bay Miles of walls came down like old Jericho that day Might near everything the earthquake missed a holy fire consumed Just left 'em smoke and the ashes of the dreams that can't be ruined Chorus by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
