Ruination Day Part 2
Gillian Welch, David Rawlings
[Verse 1]
And the great boat sank and the Okies fled
And the Great Emancipator took a bullet in the head
In the head
Took a bullet in the back of the head
[Verse 2]
It was not December and it was not in May
It was the fourteenth of April that is Ruination Day
That's the day
The day that is Ruination Day
[Verse 3]
They were one, they were two
They were three, they were four
They were five hundred miles from their home
From their home
They were five hundred miles from their home
[Verse 4]
When the iceberg hit then they must have known
That God moves on the water, Casey Jones
Casey Jones
God moves on the water, Casey Jones
[Verse 2]
It was not December and it was not May
It was the fourteenth of April that is Ruination Day
That's the day
The day that is Ruination Day
