Ruination Day, Pt. II
David Rawlings / Gillian Welch
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
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
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
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
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
