The Carter Family - The cyclone of rye cove

^COh listen today and a ^Fstory I'll ^Ctell, In ^Csadness and tear dimmed ^G7eyes, Of a ^Cdreadful cyclone that ^Fcame this ^Cway, And ^Cblew our ^G7schoolhouse aw^Cay.

Rye ^FCove (Rye Cove), Rye ^CCove (Rye Cove), The ^Cplace of my childhood and ^G7home, Where in ^Clife's early morn I ^Fonce loved to ^Croam, But ^Cnow it's so ^G7silent and ^Clone.

When the ^Ccyclone appeared it ^Fdarkened the ^Cair, And the ^Clightning flashed over the ^G7sky, And the ^Cchildren all cried, don't ^Ftake us a^Cway, And ^Cspare us to ^G7go back ^Chome.

There were ^Cmothers so dear and f^Fathers the ^Csame, That ^Ccame to this horrible ^G7scene, ^CSearching and crying each f^Found their own ^Cchild, ^C Dying on a ^G7pillow of ^Cstone.
