Cyclone of Rye Cove
Recorded by Doc Watson
Written by A.P. Carter and Doc Watson

C                      F       C
Oh listen today to the story I tell
                               G7
It's saddened with tear dimmed eyes
     C                     F         C
Of a dreadful cyclone that came this way
             G7          C
And blew our schoolhouse away

    F        C
Rye Cove Rye Cove
                              G7
The place of my childhood and home
         C                   F             C
Where in life's early morn I once loved to roam
                G7         C
But now it's so silent and lone

                                 F            C
When the great storm appeared it darkened the air
                                   G7
And the lightning flashed over the sky
         C                        F       C
Then the children all cried don't take us away
                G7      C
But spare us to go back home

Repeat #3

                          F           C
Oh the mothers so sad and fathers the same
                           G7
They came to this horrible scene
     C                         F               C
Then searching and crying each found their own child
           G7        C
Dying on a pillow of stone

                        F               C
Lord give us a home far beyond the blue skies
                              G7
Where storms and cyclones are unknown
    C                       F            C
And there will we stand and gladly clasp hands
                           G7       C
With our children in their heavenly home

Repeat #3
