Distant Thunder Songtext
von The Smith Sisters

There′s a full moon out on the Delta tonight
Rolling through cotton ball clouds
Every frog in Sunflower County
Has been singing its song so loud
Like them frogs I'm singing to you in the dark
Where the bulrushes grow all around
With a weary soul and a aching heart
For it′s far away I'm bound

There's a far off rumble in the sky somewhere
Down around Galveston Bay
A weary lonesome feeling
Has been tugging on me all day
Please don′t wonder what spell I′m under
When I turn in the night and say
It's only distant thunder
But it′s calling me away


There's a passenger train out on the L&N
Moaning its sad old song
It′s that old Southern Crescent bound for New Orleans
Telling me it's time to be gone
So kiss me once for the days ahead
And once for the times we′ve known
And once to remember these lips so red
When I'm far away from home

There's a far off rumble in the sky somewhere
Down around Galveston Bay
A weary lonesome feeling
Has been tugging on me all day
Please don′t wonder what spell I′m under
When I turn in the night and say
It's only distant thunder
But it′s calling me away
It's only distant thunder
But it′s calling me away
